Participants will no longer be able to count the course for college credit, but instructor David Schlom will continue to teach the class that was removed from class offer- ings due to budget con- straints. There are a lot of peo- ple who are interested in golf and it is a good sport to master, he said. “This is a way of gen- erating new converts and exposing people to golf,” Schlom said. “This offers the staple that can get people to play golf for years and years to come.” The class is open to participants of all ages from college students to retirees and can accom- modate people of all skill levels. It is designed for people who know nothing about golf and those who just want to go out and fine tune their skills. For beginners, they can expect to learn everything about golf, including rules, etiquette and basic techniques. The class will cover the entire culture of golf from what to wear, where to stand and when to talk. Golf is a game that anyone can play their whole life, Schlom said. The other good thing about golf is that it is an individual sport but an amazing source for social networking. Schlom will teach the class at Oak Creek Golf Course, as he has in the past. 7 5 8 5 5 1 6 9 0 0 1 9 H DAVE See GOLF, page 7A 4:45 p.m. while repairs to the inner wall take place. Customers with P.O.
