The program is designed specifically for beginners; advanced player instruction is available on a separate basis. The goal of the Stuttgart Family and MWR team is to create new golfers and introduce the Stuttgart Community to the beautiful and newly renovated golf facility. This is an excellent, risk-free opportunity to see if the game of golf is for you! Bring a buddy, your spouse and/or your teenager(s). The classes will cover the golf technique fundamentals, course etiquette, golf and course rules, and a full facility orientation (to include tours of the golf course). Individuals can participate in every class or just one or two. Although, participants are encouraged to attend multiple sessions to speed the learning process. No advance notice is required to participate, although advance notice is appreciated to allow for a more efficient set-up.

Participants are asked to wear loose fitting clothing and tennis shoes. The majority of the class will be held outside so please dress appropriately!

Call the SGC pro shop at 07141-879151 for more information. POC for this program is Marco Spellacy, PGA professional and your new Golf Course Manager.
