EISENHOWER GOLF INSTRUCTION STAFF

 

The Eisenhower Golf Club is proud to introduce our highly qualified PGA teaching professionals for the 2010 golf season.  These instructors are independent contractors and may be reached through the phone number or email address listed in their BIO.  The Eisenhower G.C. instruction programs are designed for all ages and skill levels.  They include adult private and group lessons, junior private and group lessons and playing lessons. Registration for Link up to Golf and junior programs are taken in the golf shop.  All other lessons may be scheduled with your instructor of choice via email or phone.  Lesson fees or lesson gift certificates must be paid for in the golf shop and not directly to the instructor.  

It is generally agreed that golf is one of the most difficult and rewarding games to learn.  Therefore, it is very important that you start with proper instruction in order to avoid developing bad habits that will hinder your progress.  Proper instruction will allow you to improve faster and enjoy the game for a lifetime.  Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or an advance player, each of the instructors listed is capable of helping you improve your golf game so take advantage of what this staff has to offer.  They all teach in the Link-Up to Golf Program but their private lesson fees vary by instructor, experience and length of the lesson.
