  • Golf 201 - For the recent Golf 101 graduates up to anyone considering himself or herself still a beginner, we offer this five one-hour lesson package.  Golf 201 provides the student with the most comprehensive understanding of the golf swing available by utilizing the Academy original concept of "timely teaching".  If you can tell time, you can understand this manner of describing a correct and efficient golf swing.  This five one-hour lesson package is $125.00.
