NEWSLETTER GOLF TIP


Keep the club in line with the left arm on short shots

Many golfers struggle with short shots just off the green because the hands become much too active on the downswing.

A great drill to practice is to keep the clubhead pointing at the ground at the end of the shot.

This keeps the hands from breaking down at impact.

 


ADULT PROGRAMMING NEWS


Link Up To Golf Beginner Clinics - In conjunction with the PGA America and their new golf initiative entitled "Play Golf America", Precision Golf School will be offering Adult Clinics for beginning golfers through the "Link Up To Golf Program". The program begins with a Free Orientation Day where you learn about upcoming clinics, get a tour of the facility, and meet the PGA golf professionals and staff. Each clinic offers all registered participants with complimentary use of rental clubs and range balls during the clinic. The clinics culminate in a final 4-Hole Scramble and graduation, often times held in conjunction with other classes at the same facility so you can meet people of the same ability.

Most of all, this program has been designed to be FUN, and because of the 6-to-1 student-teacher ratio, you will be able to make new friends with whom you can continue to play golf for years to come. Interested parties should contact Mike Parker at 336-510-4653 to register for the Free Orientation Days
