Because kids deserve incredible experiences...
“I have been golfing about 30 years. I was not sure I could gain much from my clinic with Katerina, but thought I would give it a try. I am really happy I did. I have become a much better putter , I have learned an effective technique to get out of the sand, and have perfected some new shots into the green. Katerina taught me a new way of strategizing on the course. She is very easy to work with. Also very important—— she taught me to know all my “carry” distances with each club. This has made a huge difference in hitting more GIR. I highly recommend her!!! Money well spent. “ - Elaine Meadows
