Give A Gift That Your Golfer Won’t Forget: A Golf School Trip
Golf School Vacations: Golf Gifts that Keeps on Giving
Summer is rapidly approaching, and beginning in mid-June (conveniently placed for the male golfers of the world) is Father’s Day. One of the best golf gifts you could give to the golfing Dad in your house is a few days at golf school, and one of the best benefits of sending dad to golf school is that you can pick a golf school in one of America’s premier vacation spots so that the entire family can tag along for your
summer vacation!
A few days at golf school will treat Dad to some of the best golf instruction available, with daily play on a top golf course, and at lunch each day he can start building lasting friendships with both his instructors and his fellow students. The best golf schools have low instructor to student ratios (one instructor for every one to four students is not unusual) so he will be getting plenty of personalized golf lessons!
There is no golfer in the world, be he just beginning or a long-time player, who can’t benefit from a bit of golf swing instruction from time to time, and letting Dad immerse himself completely in the atmosphere of a good golf school for eight hours a day will do wonders for his golf technique. And while he’s enjoying himself on an exciting new golf course, the rest of you can be having fun in your resort hotel, or taking n the natural wonders or world-class attractions of your chosen vacation spot!
* What can Dad expect from golf school?
Each golf school will have its own approach to golf instruction, but some of the most cutting edge schools spend time not only on things like the proper golf swing basics and putting techniques; they will also have their own fitness centers with personal trainers who are experts at golf fitness.
The current generation of PGA golfers have taken up fitness in a way foreign to the great golfers of the past, and many golf schools now offer fitness assessments to establish their students’ flexibility and strength, and to help them understand how their lifestyle (especially their nutritional habit) can help or hinder their game. The trainers will then share what they have learned about each student’s current fitness levels with the golfing instructors, and the entire process is an excellent way for the golf lessons to be tailored to each student’s specific needs.
Dad can, of course, expect to be spending a considerable amount of time each day swinging his golf clubs, so a week at golf school will not mean a leisurely stroll around the links (nor a leisurely ride around them in a cart) and no more shots than he usually takes to complete eighteen holes. So while Mom and the kids are swimming, hiking, biking, or hitting the amusement park, Dad will be getting his fair share of exercise as well.
He would be well advised to step up his existing conditioning program with some light running and a few nights at the driving range each week for a month or six weeks before you all head off to golf school. If he is to get the most out of his six to eight hours a day of golf instruction, he’ll need to have the stamina to do the work! Otherwise, after the first day he will wake up so stiff and tired that the remainder of the week will be much less helpful to his golf technique than it might have been, and this best of all golf gifts will be a disappointment.
* Where can you find a good golf school?
You’ll find golf schools in almost every premiere resort area in the US, from the foothills of the Catskills and the rolling country side of western Pennsylvania, to Tennessee’s Cumberland and Florida’s Orlando area. If you prefer a setting with more nightlife, Las Vegas offers a multi-course "buffet" of golfing schools. Colorado, on the other hand, will enchant anyone with a love of the high country. The sunny beaches of San Diego and the tropical glory of Maui are all close to some of the best golf schools.
As you can see from the very abbreviated list of golf school locations, Dad will be able to learn golf each day on a course in one of the country’s most breathtakingly scenic locations, and when his days of working on his golf technique are over, the entire family can share a vacation in luxurious accommodations, with every waking hour full of indoor and outdoor fun!
