What are Stage 1 (No Embarrassment) Clinics?

Naomi Nesenoff, PGA runs her Stage 1 or what she likes to call her No Embarrassment clinics (5 – 1.5 hour clinic series) at multiple golf courses in New England. Naomi has been successfully teaching her Stage 1 series for over 10 years! In this clinic series she teaches the fundamentals of golf in 5 (1.5 hour) weekly clinics in a non-intimidating environment. The goal is to help brand new and returning golfers feel comfortable with the game of golf at the golf course, have success early on as well as build confidence. Students will learn the parts of the game numbered below along with many of the areas that aren’t always discussed; including etiquette, facility layout, attire, fitness, pace of play, nutrition and more.

Weekly swing topics are laid out as follows:

1. Putting

2. Chipping

3. Golf swing

4. Long game

5. Golf round prep and course management

Note: 6-9 participants in each clinic series.

Who should sign up?

This clinic welcomes various abilities. This clinic is extremely useful for beginner golfers. From those who have never touched a golf club before to the bi-yearly golfer, individuals will gain useful information and tools from this clinic.

This is also a great welcome back clinic for those returning to the game that have not played in many years. Also, staff members at courses that do not golf have signed up for these clinics and have found them extremely helpful.

Please Note: Intermediate golfers are welcomed to join as well for this clinic and often have in order to welcome their beginner friends in at the same time. This frequently occurs and those golfers go in not thinking they will learn much. Then the feedback at the end has ALWAYS been positive written and/or verbally saying they took away useful information that has benefited their game.
