It’s the beginning of the golf season here in the northeast. Golfers are flocking to the first tee box, eager to get out there and swing. But before you hit the golf course, you might want to fine tune those swing skills that have been left to lie dormant during the cold winter months.
Sue Kaffenburgh, PGA Professional at Bayberry Hills golf course in Yarmouth, MA just sent me the following press release targeted at all you spring golfers-and new golfers as well. This is part of a nationwide Get Golf Ready program sponsored by the World Golf Foundation and Play Golf America. Check out your local area golf courses to see if your golf pro is running a similar program. And if you live on Cape Cod, get yourself to Bayberry Hills for a lesson series!

New player development program provides fun, fast and affordable lessons
WEST YARMOUTH, MA—BAYBERRY HILLS GOLF COURSE is bringing adults into the game of golf in a fast, fun and affordable way through the new Get Golf Ready in 5 Days program. The new industry-wide initiative is comprised of a series of five introductory lessons offered by PGA/LPGA Professionals in a small-group environment.
The first session runs after work hours
MAY 16,17,18..24,25 for the affordable price of $125.
Participants will be ready to play on the golf course by Memorial Day.
“The Get Golf Ready program provides an affordable and rewarding educational experience for those who are interested in learning more about the game of golf,” said ALAN WRONOWSKI, PRESIDENT of THE PGA of AMERICA. “The program will provide a casual yet structured setting using fun, skill enhancement formats to help participants become comfortable on the links and enable them continue to develop their skills as golfers.”
Targeting the millions of adults who have limited or no experience with the game of golf, this new industry-wide adult player development program’s five lessons provide basic skills instruction as well as information regarding the background of the game’s rules, etiquette and values. Significant on-course learning opportunities will be a part of each lesson. Overall, participants will gain insight into techniques regarding chipping, putting, full swing, half swing and bunker play as well as the fundamental guidelines regarding the use and maintenance of golf equipment, keeping score and navigating the course, among others.
Following the completion of the five-session program, a smooth transition into other Get Golf Ready graduate outings, such as the free and low-cost programs offered by Play Golf America, will be provided.
Get Golf Ready was introduced in January 2009 as part of the World Golf Foundation’s Golf 20/20 initiative. Currently in its third year, the program is benefiting from unprecedented support and collaboration from the entire golf industry, including the World Golf Foundation, The PGA of America and other leading national and state golf associations, organizations, manufacturers, media and companies.
