Adult Instruction
What are the learning options for 2025?
1. You could become a STRIVER by purchasing a 30-day program.
2. If you were a “discount member” last year and were sufficiently active, you would be considered a LEGACY MEMBER which offers deep discounts to all instruction.
3. You can purchase/schedule a 1/2-hour or 1-hour stand alone lesson.
4. You can schedule a lesson for 2-5 adult golfers and share the fee.
5. Women can schedule into one or many Friday AM group sessions.
Oh no! Why is last year’s lesson package no longer available?
I am offering ONE lesson package this year. Last year I had a 6-lesson and 12-lesson package available with a VERY generous conversion option to playing lessons. Over the past 18 years at Renditions, many golfers have respected their package expiration dates, however I have had great difficulty getting others to adhere. Every October at season’s end, I receive too many calls and texts to “fit” people in even though their package has long expired.
How does this year’s lesson package work?
There is a 1.5 hour, 30-day STRIVER package which will be loaded into your online account as THREE ½-hour lessons. Golfers may schedule ONE ½-hour lesson at a time, TWO lessons back to back for an hour lesson, or all THREE lessons back to back for a 1.5 hour lesson. The expiration date is 30 days from the initial lesson. During this 30-day period, the golfer may participate in as many 30-minute “range practice sessions” as they like. I will load 20 of these sessions onto your account along with your 1.5 hour STRIVER package.
Will you please explain what the STRIVER package range practice sessions” are?
These practice sessions are NOT formal group lessons. They are your opportunity to get a personalized follow up to a recent lesson. You can practice air swings, get feedback on your progress while doing prescribed drills, have me review the swing mechanics you are working on. All of this can be done without hitting golf balls. Of course you are welcome to hit balls during these sessions and you would purchase them in the Renditions’ Golf Shop.
Will I be the only STRIVER in the practice session?
Maybe, although there could be a handful of attendees. I will not cancel the session even if there is only 1 participant. Several sessions will be scheduled each week. They will be posted in the online scheduler. The number will be determined by how many STRIVERS there are at any given time. Each STRIVER will need to schedule into the session using the scheduler. It will be at no cost unless the golfer wants to buy balls in the golf shop to hit. Practice does not necessitate hitting range balls (though I understand most golfers like to hit balls). In fact, hitting range balls can make your errors more permanent unless you are receiving effective feedback
— that will be my function!
May I purchase several STRIVER packages?
Yes, of course. Actually, there is a MAJOR BENEFIT after completing a second STRIVER package. Once you’ve completed TWO 30-day STRIVER packages, you will qualify for the same discounted pricing as the LEGACY members. You
For example:
½-hour lesson is $50 vs $85 (which may include a junior)
1-hour lesson is $100 vs $150 (which may include a junior) 1-½ hour playing lesson is $150 vs $249
Women Only Clinic is $25 vs $39
1-hour putting lesson $100 vs $140 Practice sessions $10 vs $20
Do I need to purchase my second STRIVER package immediately after my first package expires?
Not at all! In fact you could purchase your first package on April 1st and your second on October 1st if you like. You just wouldn’t receive the benefit of LEGACY member pricing since my season concludes on October 31st each year. If you wanted to get ANY instruction between the two packages, your only option would be stand alone lessons at the higher fees.
So when would the LEGACY member discounts apply if I did two STRIVER packages?
If you did a 30-day STRIVER package on April 15th and a second 30-day package on May 15th, your LEGACY discounts would be activated on June 15th. If you did your first STRIVER package on April 15th and started your second package on July 15th, the LEGACY discounts would be activated on August 15th. Between the expiration date of your first package (May 15th) and the start of your second package (July 15th) your only instruction options would be single lessons at the higher fees.
How can I tell if I qualify as a LEGACY member?
If you paid a discount membership fee anytime in the last few years and have remained ACTIVE with lessons/group instruction, you probably are. I will be going through the rolls and identifying 2025 LEGACY members. If you want to check yourself, please go into your account and look at your instruction activity for 2024. You will have to have accumulated 50 “points”. A group session like the Coed or Women Only counts as 5 points and a ½-hour private lesson counts as
10. So it should be easy to tell. It is not a subjective issue. It is strictly by the numbers as it has been for more than 10 years. I reward instruction and practice consistency by giving unbelievable discounts. If you are in doubt or have questions, please text me.
