Join us at the 2022 Shell Classic Clinic Series & Exhibition, sponsored by Titleist & FootJoy. Before you enjoy one of the best women’s invitationals in the country, experience an exceptional opportunity to improve your game by learning from LPGA Tour winners & Top 100 golf coaches.
In 2021, four teams that participated in our Shell Classic Clinic Series finished first and second in their respective flights.
Our Shell Classic Clinics are designed to help you lower your scores by improving your scoring game, creating a peak performance mindset and learning how to create an athletic and effective swing that matches how your body moves best. The clinics are designed to support any game improvement plans players may already have in place with coaches at home. Best yet, we create a dynamic and fun learning environment that allows you to immediately take your improved skills to the course on the Shell Classic tournament day.
