Golf instructors: run beginner group clinics
How golf instructors can run beginner group clinics with online booking: places per clinic, course blocks, range time included and private lessons after.
5 min read
Beginner clinics are how new golfers start: a small group, a few weeks, the basics of grip, stance and swing. They're also how you find future private students. With Book, each clinic is a service with a set number of places matched to your range bays, beginners book their own place, and a full clinic leaves your page.
One service per clinic
On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.
| Service | Example slot | Places | Example price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner clinic – 4 weeks | 1 h | 6 | €20 |
| Short game clinic | 1 h 30 | 6 | €25 |
| Junior clinic | 1 h | 8 | €15 |
| Ladies' beginner clinic | 1 h | 6 | €20 |
| Private lesson | 45 min | 1 | €50 |
Durations, places and prices are examples: set places to bays and what you can coach.
Multi-week blocks
Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. A four-week beginner clinic on Saturday mornings takes a few minutes to set. Beginners book each session, or you book the whole block for someone from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each session.
What the description should say
- that no experience or equipment is needed, if clubs are provided;
- whether range balls are included;
- what to wear and the club's dress code;
- where to meet: the range, the pro shop or a practice area.
Junior clinics
Group juniors by age. A parent books in their own name with the child's first name and age in the note; each online booking takes one place.
From clinic to private lessons
At the end of a clinic, offer a private lesson to those who want more. Book it yourself from your list, or point them to the private lesson service on your page. Slots of different services can overlap, so keep private lessons at times when no clinic runs.
Weather
Say in the description what happens in bad weather: covered bays, a moved session or a rebooking. If you cancel, tell each player yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes.
What Book doesn't do
Book doesn't book tee times or bays with the club, take payments, sell lesson packs or send reminders. Players can't move or cancel online: they contact you. One booking page per business, no staff field: in an academy, create services per pro. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
