Directions to The Golf Institute:

Parking for The Golf Institute is located at The Elizabeth Lyle Robbie Stadium – 1745 Cleveland Avenue (just north of Larpenteur Avenue). Please please park in the soccer stadium lot (not Gibb’s Farm) and then proceed 50 yards down the gravel path to the left of the soccer ticketbooth.

From I-94 (Eastbound or Westbound) – Take Highway 280 exit and follow until Larpenteur Avenue exit. Turn right on Larpenteur and travel to Cleveland Avenue. Turn left on Cleveland. The stadium is on the left, just to the north of Gibbs Farm.

From I-35 – Take Highway 36 exit from I-35W to Cleveland Avenue. Go south on Cleveland past Roselawn Avenue. The stadium will be on the right.

1. Wear comfortable clothes that allow for movement during the golf swing. While the University Golf Course doesn’t enforce a strict dress code, many courses do. Course appropriate attire that works anywhere is the following:
   1. Non-denim trouser/slacks (jeans are allowed at the University)
   2. Bermuda / Crops / Mid thigh shorts
   3. Sleeved / Sleeveless shirts with collar or mock neck. Modest necked tee shirts work well at most places. No tanks/tees/exercise tanks.
   4. Sports Suits also work as comfortable clothing, although these may be too casual at many facilities.
2. Carry your golf clubs in a lightweight golf bag or use a pull cart.
3. Have your golf bag stocked with plenty of tees and golf balls, golf gloves, and ball markers for the green.�� Hang a small towel on your bag to clean dirt from the golf ball.
4. Carry a light windbreaker, mittens, and stocking cap on cooler days. Always try to dress in easy to remove layers to reflect changing weather conditions.
5. During an 18 hole round of golf be sure to carry a water bottle and some portable snacks. Energy bars store well in a golf bag and can provide a boost if you are running low on fuel.
6. Sunscreen and a visor or cap are essential on sunny days.
7. Golf shoes (no metal spikes) or athletic/running shoes (no sandals)

We often receive questions regarding the difference in potential benefits that are provided from group or private instruction. The answer to that lies with the students goals, learning style, time constraints, and budget.

Group classes are ideal for those who are seeking a well rounded game improvement plan. They are also a tremendous value in professional instruction. At the Golf Institute, each lesson series will cover the fundamentals for all aspects of the game. Further, the classes meet twice a week to provide a solid kick start in helping you achieve your new goals. In developing the adult classes we adapted the lesson plans to complement experience levels.

GOLF 101 is a six hour class devoted to the brand-new golfer with little or no experience. In addition to fundamental instruction, the 101 class provides ample time to explore the golf environment, familiarize new golfers with etiquette and rules, introduce strategy, and provide Q & A sessions.

GOLF 201 is devoted exclusively to classic swing instruction from tee to green and offers smaller class sizes to facilitate constructive change. Golfers who would benefit most from the 201 Series are comfortable with the golf environment, but need corrective work with their golf swing.

GOLF 301 is a fabulous class that covers golf shots not traditionally covered in group instruction. Lessons will cover bunker shots, difficult conditions, controlling slices/hooks, and uneven lies. This series is a perfect follow up to Golf 201.

Private lessons are ideal for golfers looking for more detail in their lesson development, flexibility in scheduling, long term development, or simple “tune ups”. Private lessons are student driven and the golf professional will work intensively with the student to help them with their goals through the use of training aids, digital video analysis, corrective positioning and observation.

Overall, lessons should be augmented with plenty of practice time. It takes about 1800 repetitions for a new skill to imprint to the muscle memory! We hope that our classes provide you with quality instruction that will make all those repetitions produce outstanding results!
