Wine & Nine - Women's Golf Clinics

Brian Bickford, Val Halla Golf Course Head Golf Professional

Wine & Nine is a mid-week, after-work program targeted at "occasional women golfers."  The goal of this program is to overcome barriers encountered by women who are not avid golfers; hone your skills through lessons and clinics; play golf with other occasional golfers; and network…all over a glass of wine!

This is a 5-week series on Wednesday or Thursday evenings  from 5:30 - 8:00pm.  Week 1 will be a lengthy orientation and discussion of barriers women face before arriving at the course; where to go once you arrive at the course; intimidation faced on the course; and what to do after a round of golf.  We will discuss everything from making tee times to common rules of golf you need know.  Week 2 is a short-game clinic on the putting green.  Week 3 is a long-game clinic on the driving range.  Week 4 & 5 we will split into groups and take our game onto the course.  Each session will end with feedback, possible problems encountered and discussion over a glass of wine.  This is meant to be fun, informative and an opportunity to meet other occasional golfers!

Session I:  June 4^th - July 2^nd  (Limit of 10) - Filled

Session II:  July 9^th - August 6^th  (Limit of 10) - Filled

Session III:  June 12th - July 10th (Limit of 10) - Filled

If strong interest continues we may expand one of the nights (at a minimum start a waiting list)...we currently have 38 women in the three sessions!  An outstanding response to a new program.
