Ranch YMCA to offer golf lessons

The Lakewood Ranch YMCA will begin offering golf programs Oct. 29.

The sessions will be held at 7 p.m. Mondays for children and 10:30 a.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays for adults.

The Lakewood Ranch YMCA has contracted Andre Panet-Raymond, a PGA Master Professional and owner of TheGolfGym.com, to help members bring their golf program to a new level with high-tech mats and high compression foam balls.

Four of the five sessions will take place at the YMCA with the final session being held at the River Club Golf Course. Panet-Raymond also will develop outdoor programs for those that want to continue learning and develop their game on the golf course.
