Friday Night!!! Ladies Completely New to Golf – Intro to the Basics, Drinks, Snacks, Social

Looking for a fun, social, and welcoming way to enjoy golf? Ladies Golf Night at The BackYard is designed for women of all abilities who want to learn, laugh, and connect through the game of golf.

We have noticed that some Ladies are hesitant to come to the Ladies Night as they are very new and maybe have never held a club.  So there is no better way than to have fun on a Friday night with a drink and give golf a try.

Each Ladies Night will feature a unique theme or intention. Some nights will be focused on golf skills and learning, while others will be more about socializing, with drinks, lighthearted competitions, and a few surprises. We’ll also bring in guest coaches throughout the season to keep things fresh and inspiring.

Plus, we’re gathering prizes and local sponsors along the way to make each event even more exciting.

    INDOOR SERIES AT HAUS OF golf

    Matt is excited to launch his first Indoor Series at the Haus of Golf.  This program will be max 4 students per group and conducted with the same fun and energy as the Backyard.  We know new golfers are more seasonal, but getting work done in the off-season sets us up for Spring and getting back outside.  I will still do private lessons at the Backyard and maybe try some new group ideas when the weather permits.

     

      Book a Semi Private Session and enjoy sharing the space with your friend.  This option is great for ladies that dont want full on private lessons for 1 Hour straight on their own.  Splitting the cost always helps as each player gets there 30 mins of coaching.
