Good luck to your wife!
I Agree! I was new to golf and took the 5-day New to Golf class through the Villages Golf Academy. My instructor was Wade Martin and ours was a class of 5 ladies. Wade was a great teacher and very helpful. At the conclusion of the classes they arranged for us to meet early morning at a course with another instructor who walked us through the process of checking in, getting a cart if needed and took us out on the course to familiarize us with the experience and answered all of our newbie questions! This was invaluable! On top of it one of the ladies in the class and I arranged to play our first ever round of golf together and have since become good friends! The class was well worth the cost.
