Cypress Tree begins ‘five day’ golf program Published July 2, 2009 By Rachel Mathis Marketing & Publicity Maxwell Support Division MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. -- For golfers who are a little rusty or for individuals looking to pick up the sport, Cypress Tree's "Get Golf Ready in Five Days" program is the perfect program to get you ready for the course. The program is designed to teach everything you need to know about the game of golf in five simple lessons. Lessons include on-course activities guided by our PGA and LPGA professionals. "The Get Golf Ready program provides an affordable, rewarding and educational experience for those who are interested in learning more about the game of golf," said Ricky Magers, Cypress Tree Golf Manger. "The program will provide a casual yet structured setting using skill enhancement formats to help participants become comfortable on the link." This program targets the millions of adults who have limited or no experience with the game of golf. This adult player-development program's five lessons provide basic skills instruction as well as information regarding the background of the game's rules, etiquette and values. Significant on-course learning opportunities will be a part of each lesson. Overall, participants will gain insight into techniques regarding chipping, putting, full swing, half swing and bunker play as well as the fundamental guidelines regarding the use and maintenance of golf equipment, keeping score and navigating the course, among others. Get Golf Ready was announced in November 2008 as part of the World Golf Foundation's Golf 20/20 initiative. Currently in its inaugural year, the program is benefiting from unprecedented support and collaboration from the entire golf industry, including the World Golf Foundation, The PGA of America and other leading national and state golf associations, organizations, manufacturers, media and companies. The next three scheduled "Get Golf Ready in Five Days" programs at Cypress Tree Golf Course are July 13-17, August 3-7 and August 17-21. The two-hour sessions run from 5 to 6:30 p.m. each evening and the five-day program cost is $99.
