What you need for a golf clinic

A golf clinic needs more than clubs and golf balls. You will also need equipment for each practice station, materials for registration and scoring, refreshments, buffet supplies and items that keep participants comfortable outdoors. Use the participant count to work out quantities, then check what the course or golf professional already provides. Buy or pack consumables at least two days ahead, and leave time on the day before the clinic to charge audio equipment and check the golf gear.

Tips

Allow one golf set per participant if people will play at the same time; otherwise confirm the rotation plan with the golf professional before buying or borrowing extra sets.
Prepare at least one golf ball and several tees per participant for the practice stations, with a spare supply for lost balls and broken tees.
For the first hour, plan two to three drinks per person, then add water for the remainder of the clinic. Chill drinks in coolers several hours before participants arrive.
Match plates, cutlery and glasses to the final participant list, then add roughly 10% extra. This covers late additions, dropped items and people taking a second plate.
Pack weather and safety items the day before: umbrellas, golf towels, marker cones and the safety equipment should be ready before the stations are set up. Check that extension cords and charging cables reach the reception and teaching areas.

Frequently asked questions

What equipment do I need for a golf clinic?: You need golf sets, golf balls, tees, practice mats and putting equipment for the planned stations. Add marker cones, scorecards and pencils, and confirm with the golf professional how many sets and balls are supplied by the course.
How many golf balls and tees should I buy per person?: Start with at least one golf ball per participant and several tees per person for a basic clinic. Add 10% to 20% spare balls and tees if beginners will practise full swings or if the session takes place outdoors.
How many drinks do I need for a golf clinic?: Plan two to three drinks per person for the first hour, followed by at least one drink per person for each additional hour. Include extra water for warm weather and keep the drinks chilled in coolers before reception starts.
When should I buy and pack the golf clinic supplies?: Buy food, drinks and disposable or serving supplies no later than two days before the clinic. Pack golf equipment, safety items and tableware the day before, then chill drinks and prepare the buffet on the event day.
