Three more sessions are scheduled: July 9 to 11, Aug. 6 to 8, and an advanced clinic Aug. 20 to 22. Beginners will learn via SNAG (Start New at Golf). Intermediate and advanced students will use their own clubs. For those who do not own any, clubs will be provided.

A tournament will be held for all three sessions on Aug. 31 with a barbecue, golf shirt and prizes.
