I send out a Monthly newsletter “Tina’s. News and Views’. to engage our students in whats up and what has been happening, We feature. new programs, new technology, golf tips, students accomplishments, and the future month’s program schedules that they can sign up for.

We have Junior academy elite programs, 3 hour short game schools, Beginner golf schools, 2 women’s class weekly and a beginner junior program along with individual and small group lessons. Classes include technique, adaptations for play and competitions asking students to challenge themselves with pressure situations to take it to the course.
We also provide rules and etiquette programs to all of our classes and corporate outings
We start the season with assessments, set goals and then reassess at the end of the season.

We also have a lot of fun while learning the game!
