Golf – Short Game Fundamentals –
Have you heard the golf saying, “Drive for show, putt for dough?” Its the truth. Although it is fun to step up to a golf ball and hit it as hard and as far as you can, if you want to shoot good scores you have to have a good short game. This class will focus on all aspects of the short game such as putting, chipping, pitching, as well as the sand shot. Each week we will work on and learn new shots to hit around the greens and lower your scores.
