‘National Instruction Day’

One of six National Instruction Day clinics — all of which will be featured live on Golf Channel — will be held in Colorado, with former Tiger Woods swing coach Hank Haney leading the proceedings at Fossil Trace Golf Club in Golden on Wednesday (May 4).

Also scheduled to participate in the by-invitation-only event at Fossil Trace are instructors Trent Wearner of Colorado and Sandy LaBauve. The clinic at Fossil Trace is scheduled for 5-6 p.m. MT on Wednesday.

The PGA of America and Golf Channel are partnering to present the first National Instruction Day.

Golf Channel is devoting most of Wednesday — on and off from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. — to live programming in association with National Instruction Day. Other sites around the U.S. at which clinics will be held are Baltusrol in Springfield Township, N.J.; Ibis in West Palm Beach, Fla.; Keeton Park in Dallas; Cog Hill in Lemont, Ill.; TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, plus Golf Channel studios in Orlando, Fla.

Among the instructors scheduled to participate at one site or another — besides the aforementioned — are David Leadbetter, Michael Breed, Jim McLean, Craig Harmon, Suzy Whaley, Randy Smith and Stan Utley.

National Instruction Day marks a culmination of a 100-day celebration of the PGA of America’s centennial.
