Mary Hafeman Golf Experience located at Windsor Parke Golf Club in Jacksonville, Florida is offering novice golfers the opportunity to Get Golf Ready in 5 Days, a new industry-wide adult player development program. Get Golf Ready, intended to bring adults into the game of golf in a fast, fun and gratifying way, offers a series of five introductory lessons conducted by PGA/LPGA professionals in a small-group environment from May 29, 2010 for the affordable price of $99.00 per person.
Targeting the millions of adults who have limited or no experience with the game, the Get Golf Ready program offers five lessons that concentrate on basic skills instruction and provides background information on the game's rules, etiquette and values. Overall, participants will gain insight into techniques regarding chipping and putting, full swing, half swing and bunker play as well as the fundamental guidelines of use and maintenance of golf equipment, keeping score and navigating the course, among others.
