Camps, Clinics and Golf School Dates
With golf season in full swing now, make sure your total game is in shape with a g-PUTT putting lesson and an outdoor short game lesson. The short game accounts for over half of your shots, yet is often ignored in the lesson process. Consult with your GolfTEC Coach and book a g-PUTT lesson and a short game lesson. Something as simple as making sure your putter is the correct length for you can make a big difference in your game, and your score!
Utilize g-TRACKING. Get an analysis card from your coach, fill it in after your next round, and bring it in so that your Coach can analyze what parts of your game need work, and can plan your lesson program accordingly.
New Demo Equipment
New demo equipment continues to arrive䴊consult with your Coach and take a new club out for a test drive after your next lesson. A g-FIT club fitting session with your Coach will help insure that you have the right equipment in your bag. Ask your Coach about g-GIT!
