How many classes are there, and when are they?

There will be two different programs of Get Golf Ready running this fall. Each program runs for five weeks, with one class each week. One program takes place Tuesday evenings, the other on Thursday evenings. The Thursday program runs every Thursday from September 5th to October 3rd. The Tuesday program runs every Tuesday from September 24th to October 22nd.

Where is class?

Classes will meet outside the golf shop at the Duke University Golf Club, from there you will follow your instructors to our private teaching area located at the bottom of our driving range.

What time is class?

Each class will run from 5:30PM-7:00PM. 

What will you learn?

Learning how to play golf, or any new sport, can be intimidating. We are here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way!

Our goal with the Get Golf Ready program is to introduce golf fundamentals in a FUN and social environment.  We want you to leave class knowing that if you practice these fundamentals you will see improvement toward your goal of becoming a golfer.

Lesson 1: Introduction, Etiquette and Putting.

Lesson 2: Chipping, Pitching and Bunker play.

Lesson 3: Full Swings – Irons.

Lesson 4: Full Swings – Fairway Woods, Driver, and Getting off the tee.

Lesson 5: Warm Up, On Course Play.

What do you bring?
