The “Five E’s” (EMPOWER, ENRICH, ENGAGE, ENERGIZE, & EXERCISE) support our mission and give Girls Golf programs the opportunity to focus on teaching vital life skills that are specific to development for girls like developing confidence, finding their own voice, identifying their talents, and inspiring them to live active and healthy lifestyles.

This spring, our Women’s Player Development Program will help you to refresh and build your short game skills in the Red Zone (near the green) for scoring successes. Our programming will also help you to develop Full Swing foundations and swing patterns to create the consistency on the long shots needed to work the ball around the course. These sessions are specifically designed to develop female golfers, equipping them with technical golf skills, and empowering them to break through scoring barriers and develop confidence. There will be sessions around the Greystone practice facilities, as well as on course sessions to learn how to apply each skill within the game of golf. • Session 1: Putting / Chipping • Session 2: Chip and Putt, Pitching / Distance Wedges • Session 3: Red Zone Application / Shot Selection • Session 4: Long Game Foundations and Approach Shots / Putting • Session 5: Long Game Foundations and Tee Shots / Bunkers • Session 6: White Zone Application / Course Management WINE & NINE ONCE A MONTH ON TUEDAY APRIL 4, MAY 2, JUNE 13 • Optional Clinics @ Legacy begining at 4pm (16 max) • Shotgun Start @ Legacy begining at 5pm (20 max) Liz’s Wine & Nine events return this Spring & Summer!
