Brian Jones on Saving Strokes

Are you looking to improve your golf game?

How about four hours of golf school-style instruction with Brian Jacobs, Director of Instruction at Irondequoit Country Club?

That’s what you’ll get if you register for Saving Strokes, a golf instructional program our EWGA chapter is offering Rochester’s women golfers. This two-part clinic, which is geared toward more experienced golfers, is being offered on May 25th and June 1st from 6-8:00 pm at Irondequoit Country Club.

(The other program, Get Golf Ready, is geared toward beginning golfers.)

Golf instruction from the best

Saving Strokes is being taught by one of Rochester’s most respected golf pros. Jacobs is a certified Hank Haney golf instructor and has coached golf at both the high school and college levels. He’s also caddied for LPGA pros, including Angela Stanford, Tracy Hanson, Mary Beth Zimmerman, and Maggie Wills.

Saving Strokes will cover every type of golf swing, from full swings through the short game–putting, chipping, and pitching. “We’ll also cover some specific types of swings, such as iron play and fairway woods,” Jacobs says.

Jacobs will start out by doing an assessment of each students’ swings. Then he’ll help students understand how to make improvements to add distance and accuracy. “My teaching style is very dynamic,” he says. “I do a lot of hands on work to help students learn proper positions.”

Empowering students

Another goal Jacobs has set for Saving Strokes is to help students understand the reason they make poor swings. “It’s important for women golfers to recognize ball flights, so when they get out on the course they can make their own corrections,” he says. “This empowers golfers so that they aren’t dependent on lessons.”

Small Group Setting

Saving Strokes is a group lesson, but enrollment is limited — so students can get more individualized attention at a lower cost than private lessons.

The cost for Saving Strokes is $125 for EWGA members and $150 for non-members. (Please note that there is an additional $3.00 processing fee if you pay by credit card or Paypal.)

In-Depth Golf Instruction to Help Your Game

Our golf clinics, described here, are an inexpensive way to tune up your game.

But what if you want more in-depth help?

No problem. Just sign up for our Golf Instructional Series, a program that provides four hours total of instruction offered over two sessions. You get “hands on” instruction in a small group setting — enabling the pros to give you more personal attention and focus than in our clinics.

We’re offering two Instructional Series programs this year.
