Winter Golf School Underway at BCC

The first ever BCC Winter Golf School is now in full swing. The brainchild of Derek MacDonald, BCC's pro, the academy will operate at various times, six days a week from January 10th to the end of March. Two hitting nets and a large putting green have been set up in the BCC's golf lounge. During core hours, participants can book a lesson each week with Derek, rated 3rd best CPGA Teaching Professional by Flagstick Magazine (Fall/2010). Outside core hours, members of the academy can book a practice session. Seen in the photo at right is Derek with his video camera and Al Duffield in the hitting cage. The photo below has Derek going over the swing images of Marsha Lindsey as she looks on. Derek states, "I truly believe that hitting balls indoors is one of the most effective ways to improve your golf swing, resulting in better ball contact. It is going to be an exciting time helping everyone improve their golf games over the winter months".
Congratulations Derek! Your golf academy is a great addition to the BCC's many year-round features and will help all participants "Play Better Golf, Longer".
