Course Curriculum

A LITTLE HISTORY
Golf as we know it today originated from a game played on the eastern coast of Scotland in the Kingdom of Fife during the 15th century. Players would hit a pebble around a natural course of sand dunes, rabbit runs and tracks using a stick or primitive club. Let’s get you up to speed on golf’s back story!
OBJECT & BENEFITS
The object of the game is to complete what is known as a hole by playing a ball from the teeing ground into the hole on the putting green in the fewest possible number of strokes. A “round of golf’ consists of playing 18 such holes with an option to play 9 holes. There are 3 types of courses: 18 hole course, Par 3 Course or an Executive style course designed to be a quick round. Plus, whether you’re a gal or a guy– you’ll meet a group of gals that share the wonderful benefits of engaging in this great game.
EQUIPMENT & GEAR
Golf equipment encompasses the various items that are used to play the sport of golf. Types of equipment include the golf ball itself, the clubs to strike the ball, devices that aid in the process of playing a stroke, and items that in some way enrich the playing experience. Christina will quite literally walk with you on a personal tour of a local golf shop sharing all the intel on what you need to get started or updated.
