Women's competitive team drills will be run by senior pros.
In 2010, the Lake Forest Club will use new arrangements for signing up for, and paying for, the women's drills listed above. We call them "Session Billing Arrangements". Please note that these new arrangements will not apply to the Mixed Doubles Drills.
For example:
The Women's Beginners Monday Drills will be divided into four 6 week sessions: April 18 - May 29; May 30 - July 10; July 11 - August 21; August 22 - October 2. A member who wishes to take part in, e.g. the April 18 - May 29 session should inform the Pro Shop a week before the first drill, and will be charged $175 ($35/week with one free).
If you know that, you cannot attend one of the drills in a six week session, you may negotiate a different arrangment with Mike Carrico before the session begins. "No shows" will be charged the full $35, unless the weather prevents play then it will be added on to the next session. There are no make-ups.
