From the Forward Tee


The golf instructors at Tenison Park have created a series of programs specifically geared toward women golfers at all levels of play.

These programs provide women golfers with opportunities to discover, participate, and develop confidence in their game; they help increase their knowledge that will help improve your basic playing skills. In addition, what could be more fun than meeting and networking with other women interested in golf while benefiting from additional instruction? The golf staff at Tenison Park are experts in organizing tournament play, coordinating group play, and hosting a variety of fun and informative clinics. After you are finished with these programs you will never have second thoughts about accepting an invitation to a corporate golf outing.

Our Head Golf Professional, Becky Maciolek, and our Assistant Golf Professional, Karen Webb, have a very personal interest in women's golf and are especially motivated in making women's golf a success at Tenison Park. They are fully qualified to assist women golfers in a friendly, supportive environment.

Becky and Karen have designed a number of activities for women golfers and also created unique classes directed towards your particular experience level be it beginners, intermediate or advanced. A wide range of activities are available that will match your skill level and subsequently increase your enjoyment of the game.

"Women Only" Golf School

Becky, Karen and our other instructors can cover all aspects of the game in an un-intimidating setting, where women can experience learning the game together. You will learn basic swing fundamentals, full swing with irons and woods, as well as bunker play and chipping and putting. If you are a real neophyte, our instructors will even cover the Rules of Golf and Golf Etiquette. And if you happen to be a long time player in need of assistance with a slice or a hook, they'll work with you to eliminate that nuisance. Tenison Park offers special golf clinics designed to improve your short game and develop better putting skills.

Your learning process can be further accelerated by taking advantage of Tenison Park's Indoor Practice Facility. Soon a video computer analysis system will be available. This new technology allows you to see and discuss with your instructor the strengths and weaknesses of your swing; then you can take home the tape of that lesson and review it as often as you find it necessary.
