Dress Code:
Every sport has a uniform, and golf is no different. No, I don’t mean plaid, but please dress in proper golf attire. This means nice t-shirts or golf shirts, modest shorts, and proper footwear (golf shoes or tennis shoes). Please, absolutely no sandals, cut-offs, and specifically for girls, no loose shirts that flop open when you are in your golf address position. A simple rule: If a shirt has sleeves, it doesn’t need a collar. If it has a collar it doesn’t need sleeves.

Rainout and make-up lesson information:
In the event of poor weather, please call 651-683-6969 and select voice mail box #94498. Alternate plans will be announced through the greeting on my voice mail. The week of August 6-9 will be used as a make-up week for all lessons, for any reason including rainouts, illness, or family vacations. Also, please feel free to make-up any missed lesson by attending any other lesson with the age group and time that best fits your schedule. Please try to limit this, as classes should not become chronically overloaded due to individual schedule conflicts.

On our first day:
We will meet for the first lesson at the Emerald Greens Golf Course teaching building located next to the driving range at the entrance of the parking lot. After check-in, we will go over safety rules.
