Golf Instruction, Lessons, & Learning
The members at KCC have access to a model teaching and learning center. There is no doubt you will enjoy KCC more if you can learn to play up to your potential. The pro shop can set up a teaching and learning program through the season that is tailored for you. You will learn faster on a program basis, but we also give lessons on a one-time basis (a quick cure, if you will). Communication is the backbone of instruction, so if you feel you and your teacher do not communicate well, feel free to change professionals. You will not hurt our feelings because your improvement is our main concern. The PGA Staff at KCC utilizes the most up-to-date video and computer programs available. The very best training aids are also used for best results. Each spring, free clinics are offered to the ladies by the golf staff. These clinics are basically for beginners or for those needing a brush-up on fundamentals.
