SkyRidge Golf Course is bringing adults into the game of golf through the new “Get Golf-Ready in 5 Days” program.The new industry-wide initiative is comprised of a series of five introductory lessons offered by PGA and LPGA professionals in a small-group environment during July. Call for fee information.

“The Get Golf-Ready program provides an affordable and rewarding educational experience for those who are interested in learning more about the game of golf,” said Kelly O’Mera, PGA Professional at SkyRidge.

“The program will provide a casual yet structured setting using fun skill enhancement formats to help participants become comfortable on the links and enable them continue to develop their skills as golfers.”

The program targets adults who have limited or no experience with the game of golf.

Participants are instructed on chipping, putting, full swing, half swing and bunker play as well as the fundamental guidelines regarding the use and maintenance of golf equipment, keeping score and navigating the course.
