French Lick, IN (May 13, 2008) – French Lick Resort Casino, located in southern Indiana, announces the debut of the Dave Pelz Short Game Clinics in 2008. This partnership between French Lick Resort Casino and the world’s leading short game golf school will further solidify French Lick as one of the leading golf destinations in the country.
“We are pleased to host what is arguably the best short game academy in golf here at French Lick,” said Dave Harner, Director of Golf at French Lick Resort Casino. “Those who have a desire to really improve their game from 100 yards and in should not miss the opportunity to attend one of these sessions.”
Short game and putting experts from the Dave Pelz Scoring Game School will be hosting the series of one-day golf clinics at French Lick Resort Casino to help golfers learn to shoot their lowest scores ever. The dates for the series of six one-day schools will be June 19-21 and August 14-16.
Pelz, who has been credited for his one-on-one coaching of three-time major winner Phil Mickelson, says, “How you play inside of 100 yards is the prime determinant of how you score. About 80 percent of the shots golfers lose to par occur in that distance range. My putting and wedge clinics are designed, and constantly refined by research, to improve your execution of these shots and build on your improvement with proper practice.”
The student-to-teacher ratio at each Pelz clinic is 6 to 1, with a maximum class size of 18. Each six-hour clinic contains a three-hour putting session and a three-hour wedge session. Clinics begin with indoor theory presentations then move quickly outdoors so students can practice under the staff’s supervision.
Students will learn proper set-up positions and techniques to make repeatable swings for pitches, chips and bunker shots. The putting session is designed to help groove a proper “pendulum” stroke, putter path and face angle, set-up and sweet-spot impact.
The cost to improve your short game at the Pelz clinic is $375 per student. Cost does not include lodging or additional golf rounds. To enroll in anyone of the six one-day clinics, please call (800) 833-7370, or visit www.pelzgolf.com.
Please contact French Lick Resort Casino to book your lodging. Pelz students will receive 10% off their lodging when they provide their Pelz confirmation number. World-class lodging, golf, short game improvement, and gaming, does it get any better! Visitwww.frenchlick.com/golf/pelz.asp.
