The lessons will be given either in our TrackMan Performance Studios, our short game practice area, or our grass tee area depending on your particular needs. The TrackMan Performance Studio utilizes the most advanced technology in the golf industry for both data and video. The TrackMan Performance Studios can be utilized with the overhead door open to the driving range in order to see ball flight, or, in the case of inclement weather, we can close the studio door.
We will be holding numerous clinics during the course of the year so keep watching our website or social media for details.
