“Get Into Golf” is a program designed to introduce new golfers to the game and is being sponsored by the Blacksburg Parks and Recreation Department.  We hope to equip you with the tools you will need to actually play a round of golf at a golf course.  We provide instruction in small group settings, to make it more fun, less intimidating, and less expensive than private lessons.  We’ll have separate sessions for women, men and juniors.
