Our after school program (this program runs from September through May), is designed to introduce students to a lifetime sport, the game of golf. Students will receive instruction in areas such as the full swing, short game, rules, etiquette, and scoring as well as on course instruction. Students in the program can also play the Par 3 course at Lake Waco C.C. for only $4 as often as they wish. Our facilities are both indoor and outdoor so weather is never an issue. Classes are open to all students 10 and up.

Classes Meet: Monday & Wednesday
Class Time: 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm and 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

• The Rules of Golf Clinic - The single biggest problem in junior high and high school golf programs is a lack of understanding of the basic rules of golf by the students participating. At virtually every school tournament someone mentions the word "cheating". In my opinion the students for the most part are not being purposely dishonest, but simply breaking the rules because they do not exactly know what the rules are. At one particular school tournament last year, I and another professional watched at least 7 golfers out of 4 groups play their ball from a spot that was at least 10 yards out-of-bounds. What really amazed me was that not one person in the group ever mentioned it.

  The Heart of Texas Golf Academy would like to help teach the students the basic rules of golf necessary for them to confidently compete in school tournaments. We offer clinics on the rules of golf to all students that participate in a school golf program. Coaches are encouraged to attend. The cost is $15 per student and coaches are free. Each clinic is 2 hours long and is conducted at Lake Waco Golf & C.C. or at the school.

• Short game clinic - clinic covers putting, chipping, and pitching as well as drills to help the students develop their skills.
• Full swing clinic - clinic covers the fundamentals of the full swing as well as a video analysis of each student that the student may take home.
• How to practice - clinic covers the proper way for students to develop their skills and to build a solid golf game in the shortest amount of time possible as well as the importance of routines and how to develop one.
• Score-keeping - clinic covers the proper methods of keeping score, helps students understand what their responsibilities are when keeping score, and the rules associated with keeping score.
