Participants focus on the various golf skills they will use while playing. In
addition to learning the basics, they will be guided onto the golf course to put their skills into action in a casual, friendly setting.
Week One begins with an introduction to golf etiquette, putting and chipping basics;
Week Two introduces the rules of golf full swing fundamentals; Week Three focuses on full iron swing development with on-course play and etiquette; and Week 4 includes full wood swing development, on-course play, and a review of the rules of golf.

still have openings. Classes are held at the William Devine Golf Course Wednesday evenings from 7pm - 8pm on July 11, 18, 25, and August 1 with a second session August 8, 15, 22, and 29.
