The best way to accomplish your golfing goals is to have your PGA Professional see your whole game in real-life situations. In this on-course assessment, your PGA Professional will be able to see:

- How you handle pressure
- How you manage your game
- Areas of weakness and where these aspects lead to dropped strokes.

Nothing can replace the vital learning and discovery of being on the course with your PGA pro. Getting out to play with them in a foursome enables your pro to simulate what you feel in your normal round of golf. Your professional will have these key insights on how to help you by:

- Creating a written plan for your goals
- Prioritizing areas to work on to speed up your improvement
- Ensuring what you work on in private lessons will transfer and work when you're out on the course.

Get signed up for your on-course game assessment and take the first step in achieving your golfing goals this year.
