LAS SENDAS GOLF ACADEMY
JUNIOR GOLF STICKS PROGRAM
From the first swing, to the first tournament, golf is a fun game to be played throughout your life. At the Las Sendas Junior Golf Sticks Program, our mission is to help kids have fun learning to play golf. This came from the simple realization kids just want to enjoy what they are doing.
This month, we are pleased to feature Sloan Longacre, who has never held a golf club. She attended her first Junior Golf Sticks class, and was able to get a great start to the development of her golf swing. Our kid-friendly program is easy to learn. The coaches simplify all segments of the game with clear and fun teaching techniques, from start to finish.
The Junior Golf Sticks Program is designed with a perfect blend of fun, understanding and learning. Our program runs on Fridays, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., through the end of April. The program is for the beginning junior golfer or the more advanced junior golfer ages 5 to 15. Our program has flexible signup, which allows the juniors to choose the Fridays they can attend. It is designed to develop the golf skills and fundamentals in putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play and full swing.
Registration forms are available on our website at www.lassendas.com (instruction/programs), in the Las Sendas Golf Shop, or by emailing Tracy Berman at tberman@lassendas.com. Let’s grow, play and learn.
COMMITED PLAYER MONTHLY PROGRAM
The Fastest, Most Efficient Way to Improve Your Game
This lesson program is similar to the model of the Swedish National Team/Collegiate programs, and includes instruction and structure. This program had great success last winter and this past summer here at Las Sendas. The program includes:
Once-a-week private lesson.
Once-a-week, 30-minute private (at least 30 minutes).
In between sessions—up to another three days per week. If you would like, you receive constant monitoring to make sure your practices are efficient relative to what you are working on in your game.
All areas of the game are worked on and supervised (swing, pitching, chipping, putting, sand play, on-course swing, on-course strategy and skills).
Not only does your game improve, but your concepts about all areas of the game, as well as your understanding of the information also improve with each week.
Terry Aarsby, Las Sendas Golf Club:
“I am about two weeks into David’s monthly lesson program. I have had numerous lessons over the years, and this is the first time I have ever felt like I understand the golf swing. One of the things I am discovering is the fact it takes time to rebuild a golf swing, and the way David is running this program is brilliant. I am learning something new with every lesson, and David makes sure I fully understand it before we move on. I am also finding that it is easier to take these lessons to the course.”

Weekly Group Practice Program
Get your own group of three to five golfers together, and begin your program of fun and camaraderie, as we develop continuity in golf, with structured sessions covering all areas of the game. This program includes:
- A 90-minute session once per week.
- Simple swing skills, which can be improved, and have a huge impact on your full shots.
- All areas of the short game will be worked on throughout the program.
- Technical work, if desired, but lots of skills practice and instruction, which will improve your game.
- On-course practice, learning to recognize your own swing tendencies, and how to fix them.
- On-course work, with a focus on the short game and strategy.
- Games and types of practice to help you improve (hopefully, make practice more fun, too).
- Instruction to improve your individual understanding of the game (and your game).
- Included with your team practices, each individual receives two 30-minute private lessons.
Those who participate in the program, and continue with the practices monthly throughout the season, will not only have fun, but you definitely will improve your game. You bring the group, and pick the preferred available time slot.
