BUDDING golfers can lower their handicaps without lowering their bank balances at a range of free local community clinics to be held at the home of the Australian PGA Championship, Palmer Coolum Resort.
The resort’s Director of Golf, Paul Crangle, has teed up the free local community lessons to be held from 8.30am to 9.30am each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday - starting on Tuesday 3 July.
“It’s our way of giving back to the local community who support us so much,” Mr Crangle said.
“We are delighted to be offering these free clinics and I’m sure everyone will enjoy themselves and advance their game at the same time.
“Limited to a maximum of 30 people per session, the lessons will be taken by our expert golf professionals covering everything an aspiring player needs to improve their game,” he said.
Throughout July the Tuesday sessions will focus on chipping/pitching, Thursdays will be dedicated to woods and irons, while the Sunday sessions will be beginner lessons for kids. The program will change each month.
