Stay dry at Ludlow
Port Ludlow Golf Club recently added a new golf learning center on its driving range.
The three-sided structure resembles a fancy wedding tent. Players can stay dry while working on their games on artificial turf mats.
The new learning center is the likely location of Port Ludlow’s new Lunch and Lesson promotion.
For $72, players will receive a two-hour lesson focusing on the full swing and the short game with a PGA Professional, followed by lunch and a post-practice evaluation and critique with the pro.
Spending two hours with Port Ludlow’s well-trained staff of PGA Teaching Professional Ted Wurtz, Port Ludlow PGA Head Pro Darren Posey and PGA Assistant Pro Adam Barrows, will definitely improve your game and help get ready for the prime spring and summer golf seasons.
Port Ludlow also is offering a two-for-one deal through Feb. 29.
Two players can play the course with a cart for $49.
For more information, phone Port Ludlow at 360-437-0272.
