How to Sign-Up

Step 1:

Select the “Buy Now” button for your plan of choice and complete your registration.
Step 2:
After completing your Flex Plan registration, go to “See Schedule and Register for Classes” to access Smarter Lessons and the Flex schedule. If you do not have a Smarter Lessons log in, you will need to create one in order to register for individual classes.
It is best to start with one of the Set-Up Fundamentals, Swing Fundamentals, or Putting 1 classes when beginning your Flex Program. You can ask your instructor what classes they recommend for you when starting out. Keep in mind that you will likely repeat most classes more than once depending on how long you stay in the program. Don’t worry, no 2 classes are ever the same and it’s helpful to have the instruction repeated for maximum benefit.
Step 3:
Enjoy your first class and begin your path to improving your game!

*Unused lessons expire at the end of each month. They may not be carried over to the next month.

*Remember to cancel if you cannot make it to a class so that someone else may take your spot. Class cancellations must be at least 2 hours before class time. If more than 3 no-shows occur, members will be charged a $10 no-show fee each time after.

FLEX Class Descriptions

Set-Up Fundamentals

This class will concentrate on the basics of proper grip, stance, posture, and alignment. This should be one of the first classes taken by Flex students as it is the foundation for the swing.

Club Face/Swing Path

Learn how the club face and swing path affect ball flight and how to improve or change your desired ball flight. Students should take Set-Up and Swing classes prior to this class.

Long Game

This class concentrates on drivers and fairway woods. Discussion of ball position, alignment, and swing path, as well as corrections for a slice or hook. Students should take Set-Up and Swing classes prior to this class.

Putting 1

Putting 2

This class will focus on breaking putts and distance control. Goal of this class is to minimize 3 putting. Students should take Putting 1 prior to this class.

Chipping

This class will emphasize proper technique of no wrists and using different clubs for chipping. Class meets by the putting green.

Classes may be repeated as needed to help students learn at their own pace. This program allows each student to work on their most pressing needs in a structured way. Our instructors will help assess your progress to ensure that you are moving through the program most effectively. The goal is to help students improve or maintain their game with regular lessons instead of unstructured practice.

FLEX FAQs

How many are in a class?

Currently classes are 2-8 students in a class. Classes with less that 2 students signed up will be cancelled.

Our Flex memberships have a minimum 2 month requirement.

Class cancellations must occur at least 2 hours in advance. If more than 3 no-shows occur, members will be assessed a $10 no-show each time after.
Your commitment of 2, 4, or 8 classes per month are on a calendar month basis, first of the month to the last day of the month, regardless of when you started the Flex membership and classes cannot be rolled over to a future month.
One of the advantages of the Flex program is the Flexibility. The Standard Flex plans allows 4 sessions per calendar month, so whether it’s once a week or 4 sessions in one week, it’s up to students to register for their allotted monthly sessions before they expire at the end of the calendar month. There is no rollover of unused sessions.
Our billing cycle is on the 1st of the month. Initial payment is made for the first month once the application is completed. To cancel your membership, you must send an email to PGA Director of Instructor Trish Hinze at doi@tildenparkgc.com at least 7 days prior, or the 23rd of the month.
Although infrequent, classes may be cancelled due to a number of reasons.
Inclement weather will cancel putting and chipping classes, but we may still have other classes on the covered middle level of the range if it rains. If forecasted rain is not severe, classes will most likely still occur. Instructor time conflicts or illness, and facility event time conflicts may also lead to cancelled classes. If a class is cancelled inside of 6 hours, students will be notified via phone call and email. If a cancellation is made outside of 6 hours, students will receive just a cancellation email.

Students are advised to check their email in case a class is cancelled for any reason.

Students will then need to register for another class to make up for the cancelled class.
