What are No Embarrassment Clinics?
Naomi Nesenoff, PGA brings the No Embarrassment Golf Clinic series to golf courses in New England. 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: 8-10 participants in each clinic.
Learn or relearn fundamentals, etiquette, and different swings made simple, so you can feel more ready to go out to play a round of golf by the end of the clinic series with your new golf friends!

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.
How do I sign up?
Clinic Series will be back TBD.

Review from Olivia Miles (staff member at facility)
Working in Guest Services at the Hotel I am often asked questions about golf and the Pro Shop. It was embarrassing not knowing the answers and not being helpful to guests. When Naomi offered lessons for beginners (No Embarrassment Clinics) I quickly jumped at the opportunity. I was extremely intimidated but as soon as the lessons began all preexisting fear had completely melted away. I was with a group of others who were also trying to learn the sport so no question ever felt stupid and I never felt judged by my lack of knowledge. Each lesson Naomi went over the different clubs, golf course etiquette, what is appropriate to wear and even how to properly fuel your body and hydrate before a round of golf. The lessons were not just helpful, they were fun! I looked forward to every Wednesday and even became friends with some of the girls in my group. It truly has become a hobby for me. I’ve been playing on our course recently and signed up for my first tournament! All of the employees (at the club) are extremely knowledgeable and always were willing to help. They answer all of my questions and never make me feel silly or undereducated. Anywhere on the golf course – Pro Shop, Cart Barn and Sugar Shack (Halfway House) – you are always greeted with a smile and always feel at home. I am extremely thankful for my lessons with Naomi and can’t wait to be a girl golfer and take these courses by storm!
