During the event, professional golf instructors will guide participants through several stations designed to teach golf fundamentals, including putting, chipping, and full swing techniques.
Each participant is required to bring a playing partner who plays a vital role in their life to enhance communication and guidance. The clinic will begin with a demonstration by Bockerstette, setting the stage for a supportive and educational experience. Equipment for the clinic will be provided, and prior golf experience is not necessary, making the event truly inclusive.
Participants will also receive an I GOT THIS swag bag, tournament grounds access for the day, and valet parking.
