2012 Golf Clinics and Lessons

The EWGA GTA Chapter is working with courses to offer our members a discount on golf lessons and clinics. This allows each member that is interested in taking a lesson and / or clinic to schedule directly with the course at a time that is convenient for the member. We hope that this new method will offer increased flexibility for our members.        

Lessons at Golf Dome Mississauga with My PAR Golf

Jai Hoilett of My PAR Golf is offering lessons at Golf Dome Mississauga – all lessons include a bucket of balls and lesson options are available at www.mypargolf.com/lessons.html. Golf lessons and & Fitness program can be booked for anytime during dome hours.

EWGA MENTORING PROGRAM

The EWGA GTA chapter supports a mentoring program that offers experienced golfers an opportunity to support the mission of the EWGA by providing opportunities for members newer to the game to learn all about golf – like etiquette, pace of play and the basic rules of the game – in a fun, supportive and non-competitive environment.
