Free Monthly Golf Clinic3:52 Super Twilight 4:00 – Sunset

Every month Mike and Ken will conduct a free golf clinic. All residents and their guests are welcome to attend, and there is no cost. Please sign up in the Pro Shop. The staff have a book behind the counter with all the scheduled clinics that you can sign up for. You are welcome to attend as often and as many as you like! The clinics will cover basic technique and mechanics of each topic. Our golf clinics are great for learning a new skill or brushing up a skill that needs some work. The next clinic will be in August and will cover bunkers. It will be held on Monday, August 26th at 9:00am at the practice chipping green bunker. Please see your Chelsea home page event calendar for the full clinic schedule.
