WOMEN’s & ADULT CLINICS
October – November
Hello Everyone,
Yay! Fall weather is close! With that, it’s the time of year where golf courses in Arizona need to transition from summer grass to winter grass to keep the course beautiful for the winter. This process is called overseeding and it takes approx 2 weeks for the winter grass to take root.
Springfield will close for overseeding on Sept 30th and re-open on Oct 16th.
Here is the most comprehensive Arizona 2024 Overseeding Schedule (a link published by the AZ Golf Team)
The Oct-Nov schedule includes Ladies clinics on Thursday afternoons at 1pm & Friday mornings at 9am.
The “It’s OK League” will continue but will change to Sunday and Wednesday afternoons at 4pm. We are looking for (1 – 3 ) ladies to take the lead on administering the “It’s OK League”. If you are interested in helping to make this opportunity even better, please let me know.
See my Calendar for the full schedule.
Simply sign-up online or reply to this email with the classes that you’d like to sign up for.
There is a 48hr cancellation policy to keep the classes small and the price low.

This league (without pressure or strict rules) continues to be so popular, that Springfield is continuing to offer this great opportunity! Dates, Tee times and Pricing are on the calendar. (For October/November – Sunday and Wednesday tee times start at 4pm)
Personalized Clinics – If these dates/times don’t work for you, we can personalize a session for 3 or more participants, where you choose the day of week, time of day and the topic. Cost: $55 per person for a group of 3, $45 per person for a group of 4, $40 per person for a group of 5, $30 per person for a group of 6+.
Golf 101 program – The next Golf 101 programs will be planned to start in mid-October after overseeding.. This is a 6 week course designed for new and beginning golfers to introduce you to golf in a safe, welcoming and FUN environment. Covers all aspects of the game – swing fundamentals (full swing, chipping, pitching, putting), basic rules, etiquette, other important things (like what to wear, how to make a tee time, how to practice, etc.) and on-course play.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
