Attention: Tiretown Women Golfers
We are thrilled that you agreed to participate in the three weeks of one-hour beginner’s golf lessons for the women of Tiretown. The lessons will occur at Golf Galaxy Golf Center, 4118 Medina Rd., Akron, OH 44333, from 6-7 PM on Thursdays, March 19, 26, and April 2.
You should wear comfortable clothes, sneakers, or golf shoes. To be prepared to receive the best instruction, the items below are the basic items that are helpful or recommended for a beginner:
For your first golf lesson, you don’t need a full set of gear yet.
Golf Clubs
- A 7-iron or 9-iron is commonly used in beginner lessons.
Golf Shoes (Optional for First Lesson)
- Athletic sneakers are usually fine.
- Golf shoes with traction become useful later.
Golf Glove
- Worn on the lead hand (left hand for right-handed golfers).
- Helps with grip and prevents blisters.
Water Bottle
- Lessons often take place at the driving range and can last 45–60 minutes or more.
Notebook or Phone Notes
- Instructors often give swing tips or drills you’ll want to remember.
Each of you will be granted one year to use the golf stimulators at Ohio Golf Club, 2262 S. Arlington Rd., Akron, OH 44319, at a 50% discount for a flat rate of $10 per person per hour. In addition, you will be invited to attend a golf clinic in April sponsored by the Ohio Golf Club.
Attached is a handout to help you get started on how to hold the golf club.
See you on March 19!
