DWU to host Winter Golf Clinic Feb. 13

Coach Adam Anderson

MITCHELL, S.D. – With another winter storm sweeping through the Mitchell area this week, it’s definitely the time of year where golf enthusiasts stare out at the snow-covered ground and long for their first tee time of the spring. However, Dakota Wesleyan University once again has the cure for those off-season golfing blues.

The nationally recognized Tiger golf program will host its fifth-annual DWU Winter Golf Clinic Saturday, Feb. 13, at the Christen Family Recreation/Wellness Center on the Dakota Wesleyan campus. There will be two sessions that day – a morning clinic and an afternoon clinic – for golfers of all ages to get reacquainted with their clubs and to work on improving their skills.

The clinics will focus on improving the following areas: iron play, driving the ball, putting, chipping and pitching and a rules seminar with an administered exam. Once again, decorated DWU head golf coach Adam Anderson and his staff – assistant coaches Jenny Schneider and Brett Coluccio – will be among the featured instructors, along with Wade Merry, the executive director of the SDGA, Wild Oak Golf Club director Chas Hurd, former DWU golfer and coach Ben Irlbeck and former golf club professional Merv Bouchie.

Registration for the morning clinic on Feb. 13 runs from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. with the clinic running from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Registration for the afternoon clinic is from 12:30 p.m. to 1 p.m., with the clinic running from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The clinic costs $25 per person, and each participant can get their golf swing recorded and analyzed for an additional $10. Space is limited in both clinics. To register, or for more information, contact Anderson at 605-999-2179 or adanders@dwu.edu.
