The Golf Club is pleased to announce three new golf programs to be offered this spring: Tots Golf for youths ages 4 – 5, Senior Golf for ages 55+ and Fit for Golf - Set for Life. Additionally, the Trackman Combine software, popular with PGA pros, has joined the Golf Academy’s extensive list of technology offerings.

Specifically designed for children ages 4-5, Tots Golf provides a comprehensive introduction to the game of golf. Young students develop skills, knowledge and etiquette while learning the fundamentals of the game in a safe and nurturing environment. Our experienced teaching staff introduces and develops the elements of grip, stance, posture and swing technique using exercises and activities specifically designed for early learning.

For men and women ages 55 and over, the Senior Golf School is a 4-week instructional series designed for golfers of all skill levels. The program specifically focuses on achieving greater distance and consistency. Flexibility and gradual strength training exercises are incorporated to compliment swing fundamentals and technique.

For intermediate to advanced golfers looking to enhance their game as well as overall lifestyle, Fit for Golf – Set for Life is the perfect solution. This unique 5-week program emphasizes the relationship between golf, fitness and nutrition, utilizing these three essential components to create a highly educational learning experience.

The Golf Academy, one of the nation’s top teaching academies, is now offering the TrackMan Combine software. Popular among PGA tour players around the world, this software utilizes a standardized test of 60 shots to help golfers identify their strengths and weaknesses with different clubs and distances. This innovative training device analyzes the entire flight of the ball from impact to landing, displaying 3D trajectory in real time. At the completion of the test, golfers immediately receive a detailed report with their scores and are granted access to the TrackMan database, where scores can be compared with thousands of others, including PGA Tour competitors and Major Championship winners.
