Maximum Golf Lessons are underway at the Vernon rec complex.
Hall Thomlinson, a former teaching pro at Vernon and Canoe Golf Clubs, is the main instructor for the program.
“It’s an excellent way to train or refresh your muscle memory to make a nice rhythmical golf swing and a good way to get a head start on your 2015 golf season,” said Thomlinson.
“These lesson are excellent for beginner or established golfers, and guaranteed to help your game or your money back.”
The Maximum Golf lessons go Tuesdays, through March 24 at 5:45 and 7:15 p.m. or Wednesdays until April 1 at 5:45 and 7:15 p.m.
There will be lesson given on the driving range at the end of each of the sessions.
“The golf swing is not a thought out process,” said Thomlinson, pointing out that a typical stroke takes about 1.5 seconds to complete. “The golf swing is a muscle reaction, and we train the muscles to make that reaction. If you start thinking too much, that’s when you mess it up.
“On the driving range, the results are where the ball went. They focus on the ball rather than their golf swing and where the club head hits the ball.”
To work out the kinks in a golfer’s swing, Maximum Golf uses more than 30 different repetitive exercises and swing drills. There is also the opportunity have video analysis to see where improvements can be made in your swing.
Register in person at the rec complex or go on line www.greatervernonrecreation.ca. The course code for Tuesday is 30820 and Wednesday is 30821.
