Welcome to the WP Golf Institute Home Page and this year's golf season. As you browse through the different topics, please keep in mind that the reason we are here is to help you enjoy your golf experience more. From beginning golfers, to weekend warriors, to aspiring tour players, we offer programs for every type of player. New for this year, each golf course has their own instructional program/page showing what the Institute is offering at their facility. Private lessons, golf schools, clinics, junior golf, and corporate outings are just some of your choices. Just click on one of the courses above to see the programs. As the Institute continues to grow with Wendell Pittenger Golf Operations, we encourage you to grow with us as the game of golf evolves. Thank you for visiting us and if you have any questions please feel free to contact us at the numbers below. To the WP Golf Institute's Students I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone know that I am resigning my position as Director of Instruction for WP Golf Operations. I have recently taken the position of Director of Instruction at Colleton River Plantation Club in Bluffton, South Carolina (www.colletonriverclub.com). Although I will be sad to leave WP Golf Operations and the relationships that I have made in Minnesota, this position will allow me to advance in my career as well as my personal life. I'd like to personally thank everyone for their help with the WP Golf Institute and the support that you have shown me. My last day of work this Spring will be May 20. I will take this time to tie up any loose ends and to fill any obligations that I may have. I will also be returning in August to teach at Oak Marsh and hope to make this an annual event. Please see my April newsletter for more information. Thanks again for your help and support! Sincerely, David La Pour Director of Instruction Colleton River Plantaion Club www.colletonriverclub.com 843-873-3030 www.davidlapourgolf.com "Golf for a Lifetime!"
