As part of an ever-growing list of membership benefits, the NCGA added complimentary golf lessons and clinics for its members. Golf professionals will offer these lessons and clinics at a variety of sites throughout Northern California that are part of the NCGA Member Advantage Tee Time Portal.

The 2013 complimentary clinic and lessons program begin in April.

If golf courses that are part of the Tee Time Portal wish to participate in the program please contact Evelyn Gomez or call 831-625-4653. Participating golf professionals are reimbursed by the NCGA for their instruction
