    Dust off the clubs and get the golf shoes out from the back of
    the closet, and get a jump on those golf lessons you promised you
    would take.



    Get a jump on the 2011 season by checking out these golf
    learning opportunities available from Cleveland Metroparks �Academy
    of Golf.�



    The mission of the Academy is to provide a variety of
    high-quality learning opportunities for golfers of all skill
    levels, age and gender, and to improve their golf skills, knowledge
    and enjoyment of the game. Ultimately the goal of the Academy is to
    meet personal golf goals. The Academy provides unique learning
    opportunities for each participant to enhance their personal golf
    skills, personal fitness and outdoor recreational
    opportunities.




                   
    Interested beginners can get an introduction to the sport on four
    Saturdays in February (5, 12, 19 & 26) at 10 a.m. at Manakiki
    Golf Course with �Beginners - An Introduction to Golf.� Geared
    towards beginners and players with a 25 handicap or above, this
    indoor, four-week series is a one-hour, hands-on class that covers
    the basics of the full swing, chipping and putting. Basic golf
    terms, rules and etiquette also are covered. Loaner equipment will
    be available. Cost is $100. All participants completing the course
    will be given a pass to a Cleveland Metroparks short course.




                   
    Experienced golfers who want to get an early jump on the season
    might want to take advantage of �Indoor Spring Training� offered at
    two locations in March. These two-hour sessions are designed to
    help golfers take advantage of practice time before the weather
    breaks in the spring. Participants will have a game plan in place
    covering areas of the swing that need work for a better golf
    experience. Each class is limited to a maximum of 10 participants.
    Cost is $20 per person. The scheduled sessions are:
