Hartford Chapter of Rensselaer Alumni Association Presents PGA Master Private Lessons

The Rensselaer Hartford Alumni Chapter proudly presents the Springtime PGA Master Private Clinic Series to be hosted at Wintonbury Hills Golf Course in Bloomfield, Connecticut, just 15 minutes from Hartford. It is a beautifully conditioned course in a peaceful and relaxing setting. The course represents Pete Dye's first championship design in New England. The 6,711 yard, par 70 layout has a combination of open links-style and traditional tree-lined holes to provide golfers a challenging and enjoyable round of golf.

A series of three private group clinics by P.G.A. Master Ciaran Carr is available for a single price of $50 for dues paid members of the Hartford Chapter and $70 for their guest. Non-dues paid alumni price is $60 per person and their guest is $75. The number of participants for the series is limited to no more than ten. Registration is limited to one guest per alumnus/a. Sessions are one (1) hour with the first 20 minutes as a demo and the remaining 40 minutes for one on one working sessions with each person. Each participant will receive $25 in range credit for practice on the driving range. We also have additional clinics later in the spring that will be conducted by Golf Course assistants for only $99 per person for a series of five clinics. It is called “get golf ready.”

Our group will meet at the Wintonbury Hills Golf Course Club House at 8:45 a.m. on May 5. If you have questions regarding the golf series, please contact Carol Thorney ’03G at carol@tasolutions.us. Sign up online for the series of three private group lessons by May 3. Register at: https://secure.imodules.com/s/1225/index.aspx?sid=1225&gid=1&pgid=1912&cid=4477
