Preparing For Golf:
Clothing:
For men: the Klipper has a collared shirt policy. Wear relaxed fitting pants or shorts. Wear tennis or fitness shoes that provide the support needed to make a balanced golf swing. Slippers . . .not so much
For women: Wear relaxed and comfortable clothing. Klipper has great trade winds so a visor, scruntchy, or hat helps to keep hair out of the way. Shoe requirement is same as above.
Equipment:
Clubs are not required to learn golf at the academy. We can provide equipment for the lessons. Just make sure to inform the academy staff of your requirements. Additionally, during the sessions, the staff will make recommendations for type and style of golf clubs if desired.
Lesson Cancellation Policy:
48-hours is the minimum amount of time needed to make a previously scheduled lesson time available to others. We understand that emergency situations do occur and we can make adjustments for that. Lesson no-shows without notice count as a completed lesson.
