About
Most golfers waste more strokes within 100 yards of the hole than anywhere else. If you really want to lower your scores, the best place to start is one of our comprehensive short game schools taught by Director of Instruction Michael Parker, PGA. These sessions cover chipping, green side pitch shots, distance wedge shots, sand play, putting technique and green reading skills.
