Soft Touch Short Game Schools

Our Soft Touch Golf School is a series of lessons focused on the Short Game - putting, chipping, pitch and sand shots.  These short game lessons were developed to complement, and are a natural extension to, our MAXIMUM Golf winter program.  This school, taught by Clayton Robb, can be taken during the winter and summer months.

Practicing the Short Game is often overlooked and yet 60% to 70% of Golf is played within 100 yards of the cup, of which approximately 43% is putting!  We have brought this school to a new level with 26 years of specializing in teaching the short game.  Clayton Robb has been researching short game instruction for over 40 years and has participated in the #1 Short Game school in the United States.

Statistics show that the average golfer's game in North America includes, on average: 43% putting, and 12% chipping.  Our maximum of 4 to 1 indoor and outdoor student-to-pro ratio, provides plenty of individual time for game improvement instruction for everyone - beginners to advanced golfers!

  • A maximum of 4 students per class
  • Two 2-hour lessons
  • Cost: $170.00+8.50GST = $178.50
