2010 Golf Clinics

One of the benefits of your membership is the opportunity to participate in Keswick Club’s complimentary golf clinics. Once a week, starting in Spring and continuing through Fall, the golf staff will conduct clinics for both men and women.

Some weeks we will cover a particular aspect of the game-such as putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play, etc., and other weeks we will “walk the Line”- which is our chance to work with each participant individually.
