Playing And Learning/laughing Simultaneously

Dear Winchester Country Club Golf Member,

The PALS program offers golf activities that will help novice adult WCC Members with golf privileges become more proficient with the game. PALS activities will be conducted in a relaxed, stress free atmosphere so participants can maximize their potential to learn, enjoy the game of golf, and have fun at the club. No golf experience is required for the PALS program and new golfers are strongly encouraged to participate. Adult participants should be novice golfers with limited golf experience. It is helpful for participants to have clubs but it is not necessary in order to participate. Clubs can be provided for use during the activities if advance notice is provided by a participant. Golf shoes are not necessary, athletic shoes can be worn.

The program schedule will cover general fundamentals of the game with each session. The clinics will also provide information on the equipment needed, care of the course, etiquette, pace of play, and basic rules of golf. The clinics will provide knowledge on a broad range of golf fundamentals granting the participants the opportunity to get experience with the game on the practice facilities and on the course.

There will be 1 session with 5 activities for the 2025 season. Participants are to be adult WCC Members with golf privileges. The PALS Program is $100 for the 2025 session.

Please email Andy Hersey, PGA andy@winchestercountryclub.net to register for the program. Registration will begin on Tuesday, April 22, 2025.
