Richard Corsetti - Golf Professional

We’re thrilled that Rich Corsetti has returned to Somers National for his 10th season! Many of our members know him as the head golf professional for East Hill Golf Course for seven seasons.  Prior to joining Somers National, Rich was the assistant golf professional at five other golf clubs throughout Westchester County, including Hollowbrook Golf Club. Rich spent eight years in the PGA program and focused on the junior programs.  His teaching philosophy is “golf is to be played using your athleticism and keeping golf simple… with minor adjustments anyone will play better golf and enjoy it more.”  Rich offers private, group lessons and junior clinics.  He also serves a number of roles in and around the golf course as starter and ranger.

FOR GIRLS & BOYS, AGES 7 to 14

The focus of our program will be teaching basic golf techniques. Golf rules and etiquette will also be incorporated throughout.  Clinic participants will spend time on the range as well as on the golf course refining their skills while supervised by an excellent and dedicated group of instructors: Skip Marini, Rich Corsetti, and Jason Schmahl.  These techniques will help improve their games as well as behavior on and off the course.  Practice stations will be set up throughout the day to include: 1) swing mechanics, 2) grip, stance and ball striking, 3) driving, chipping and driving, and 4) on course management.   The instruction will be personal.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1.  Is this clinic open to beginners? Yes! We welcome all juniors at various levels.  We'll tailor the instruction based on individual need and have small groups arranged by their skill level.  With a limited number of students per session, we'll be able to closely observe each student's development and progression.  Our goal is to have every student/camper create and enhance their love of the sport!

2.  Will golf clubs be provided?  We encourage any student who has their own clubs to bring them.  We do have junior club loaner sets available for our campers.

3.  Can my son/daughter be paired with a friend?  Depending on their skill level and interest, it's highly likely they will be together for most of the exercises and instruction.  More emphasis will be placed on instruction and pairings for that session will depend on the areas of focus.

4.  What are the drop off & pickup times?  Please plan to have your child dropped off before 9 am and picked up at 12 pm (for the 9 am to 12 pm session) or picked up at 2 pm (for the full session).  Please let us know if your child as any allergies that we should be aware of.   A FAQ and waiver form will be sent out prior to the start of the Clinics.

5.  What if there is inclement weather?  We will send out a group text if there is inclement weather.  It is unlikely that we will cancel a session but if we do, Friday will be the make up day.

"The Best Camp Ever", "The Kids are Loving the Sport", and "The Clinic is an Amazing Value"... These are just some of the comments from parents after our clinics last summer at the Somers National Golf Club.
