The LPGA Hall-of-Famer is out on the course personally overseeing one of the few schools offering instruction specifically for women golfers.
The JoAnne Carner Academy can help you take your game 
to a new level, but just as importantly, the instruction program was created with fun in mind, an influence of personality and playing style.
This past year was a tremendous success! Every academy was at full capacity and judging from our exit surveys, we accomplished our goals as well as our student's goals. For the winter 2010 season, we will continue with the two day academy format, plus we'll feature several one day 'refresher' courses.
The two day academy price will be $500 per person which includes a 3-to-1 student to instructor ratio, breakfast, lunch, cocktails, logoed shirt and visor, JoAnne Carner teaching video and instructional book, autographed photos and diploma.
The current schedule for the 2010 season is:
Wed/Thur. Jan 20-21
Wed/Thurs. Feb 24-25
Wed/Thurs Mar 24-25
Tue/Wed April 20-21
Other dates may be added when the season begins. If you have a special request, please contact us!
