WHO IS A MENTOR?
Mentors are our club’s golf ambassadors who help beginners to become more acquainted with golf. Getting started with golf can seem like a daunting task, but having a mentor who can give advice and information at any time can make it much easier.
If you’ve completed the Green Card course, be sure to take the opportunity to play with a mentor. It is part of the course package. Our mentors are players who have also experienced all the fears and pains of starting out and are great at supporting you.
