“100 Yards & In” Short Game School

Sunday, September 18th  1:30-4:30 p.m.

Shriver Golf Academy Short Game School

To play your best golf, it is so important that you can hit the green from “100 Yards & In.”  In this 3 hour school, we will check your equipment, and adjust it for you while you are with us, help you “learn your yardages”, and what clubs to use for various situations around the greens. We will teach you when to pitch and when to chip, and what clubs to use for both types of shots. Starting with practice from 100 yards, we will continue to move in closer to the green, instructing students on how to hit shots from “100 Yards & In”.  Upon completion of this 3 hour school, golfers will have a much better understanding of how to play better golf  from these distances.   You will receive a folder to take home, with a Personalized Yardage Chart, detailed notes on chipping , pitching, bunker shots, and an additional gift from Shriver Golf Academy. Cost for this fantastic short game school is just $100.  We will require a non-refundable deposit of $25.00 , which may be mailed by check , or called in with a credit card, to hold your reservation as space is limited to 6.

Please email, text, or call to reserve your spot.727-480-9049 / 727-215-5801  /  pat@beachgolfschool.com.

Swing Into Good Health

If you love Time Magazine like Pat does, then you may have read the September 12th issue, with an article by Dr. Oz , one of which is titled , “What to Eat Now”.  In this article , Dr. Oz explores many facets of nutrition of our time, including ” What to Eat Now”. He talks about the need for balanced nutrition, and includes some very intersting facts on nutrition.  According to Dr. Oz “, broccoli is high in fiber and has been shown to have cholesterol lowering benefits.” “Berries are increasingly seen as having a profound impact  against age related diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular illness, diabetes, and mental decline, thanks to their high levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties…There’s a long list of nutrients that we can only get from food, including calcium, fiber, folate, iodine, iron, magnesium, and potassium.  We like to think that if we’re smart, we can get all of our nutrients from what we eat….this is only true for a small part of the population.”  If you want to get all the nutrients that you need, and admit that you aren’t getting them, take Juice Plus.  Give Pat a call to place your order, or check out her website at www.patmcclananshriverjuiceplus.com.
