Scoring School - $155 per student

The Fastest Way to Lower Your Score

Strike your chip shots solid every time and learn the secret to consistent distance control. Top off your short game with techniques for wedge shots inside 70 yards and bunker skills. This is recommended for golfers of all skill levels.
