- We use acronym CHEF, Club, Hands, Eyes, Feet.
- Begin with putting and work into building an athlete. Focus on athletic movements and not golf swing mechanics to start.
- Instructors play 1 or 2 holes and walk players through the whole process beginning with arrival at the facility. Talk here about uneven lies and odd shots on the golf course.
Recommendations
Suggest 1 instructor per 20 students and no more than $40 for four clinics. Any more may keep those that have never played away. Private lessons will be generated from this so even if participation is 20 players still worth the time. Possibility to add a fitting day for those that are interested as a 5th clinic or side registration.
