First Tee of Tampa Bay offers clinics in Dade City

Area youth golfers looking for help with their game can get it from the First Tee of Tampa Bay.

The organization will be conducting group clinics at the Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club in Dade City beginning July 16.

Classes meet once per week for seven weeks and are available for boys and girls ages 5-18. All levels are welcome, from total beginners to advanced players. During small group sessions, The First Tee of Tampa Bay instructors teach participants the rules, fundamentals and etiquette of the game.

Cost for the program varies based on family income. Lessons range from $2/class ($14 total) to $12/class ($84 total). The First Tee of Tampa Bay will provide all of the necessary golf equipment for the classes, but participants are welcome to bring their own clubs as well.

The First Tee of Tampa Bay, a program of the Tampa Metropolitan Area YMCA, uses the game of golf to provide young people with the chance to develop life-enhancing values like confidence, perseverance and judgment.
