PHIPPS' TIPS

Coming up at the Black Lake Golf Club

There are even more reasons to visit Black Lake Golf Club this season.

BLGC has partnered with the major organizations in golf – including the PGA of America, the LPGA, USGA and Golf Digest – to offer new opportunities to play and learn the game of golf. Here’s a sampling:

May

We’ll participate in “free lesson month” by offering free, 15-minute lessons. And BLGC was selected to host “Get Golf Ready,” a teaching program that covers all facets of the game, plus on-course instruction.

June

From June 8-13, BLGC will celebrate National Women’s Golf Week. Two women can play for the price of one, and on that Saturday we’ll hold a free, one-hour golf clinic.

September

From Sept. 4-7, BLGC will participate in Patriot Golf Day. All proceeds will help raise money for the Folds of Honor Foundation, which supports military families of those who lost their lives or became disabled while serving in the line of duty. Also, we’ll offer discounted rates during this time to encourage support of this worthy cause.
