Towne Lake Hills Golf Lessons

Take golf instructions with or without your spouse, or reward your loved one with the gift of lessons.

I am a golf widow. My husband, Lewis, plays regularly with a circle of friends on various courses throughout our area. In fact, he gets antsy between golf outings and can often be found in our yard swinging a real or imaginary club.

For Lewis, golf is the greatest of escapes from the frenzy of family life. Being with his buddies for the better part of a day is his way to re-energize and renew his spirit. And, with the exception of a couple minor incidents involving his home chore list, I do not begrudge him this need to ditch the family and spend time with the guys.

Lewis would welcome the opportunity to play golf as a couple. Not as a replacement to his current golf routine with the boys, of course, but as a chance for additional play. Unfortunately, my golf skills have eroded due to lack of practice. And frankly, I was never a very good player.

Perhaps it is time for some lessons! Without some instruction, I fear I will only frustrate myself and my golf partner as I sink further into bad habits and ineffective techniques.

The offers individual instruction in a private corner of the course’s practice area. Chris Carlisle, Senior Certified Instructor, helps golfers of all skill levels strike the ball more consistently and improve their all-around play. He uses video to help students identify and correct their short game and full swing. In addition, he incorporates mirrors, drills and teaching aids into lessons.
