JUNIOR GOLF CLINIC @ EVIE’S FAMILY GOLF CENTER
Every Saturday morning from 9-9:45, there’s a free (no joke—F R E E!) golf
clinic for kids age 5-15 run by the Schiavetta Golf Academy. Don’t have clubs?
They’ve got loaners. Don’t know what you’re doing when it comes to golf? No
worries—they’ll teach kids the proper fundamentals, from swing to stance to
posture to etiquette. Best of all, the teachers are PGA Professionals.
Afterwards, enjoy a snack in the restaurant. Or play some of the video games
in the little arcade. Or give their mini-golf course a whirl.
My kids have gone to the junior golf clinic dozens of times and while they’re
unlikely to make the cut for the PGA tour, they won’t embarrass themselves if
they’re ever out on the links. 4375 BEE RIDGE ROAD
NATHAN BENDERSON PARK
If you’re compelled to shop at University Town Center, fine, but make sure
you swing by Nathan Benderson Park, just south of the mall. What’s not to
like about this? Easy parking. Clean bathrooms. Kid playground. Pet friendly.
Walking/riding/jogging trail. Canoe/rowboat/kayak/paddleboard opportunities.
And that’s not to mention the many official activities there (Glow Run, Breast
Cancer Walk, Superhero 5k, the World Rowing Masters Regatta, etc.).
