GOLF LESSONS
Now that we have your attention...no we have not built a golf course, but we will be using a portion of our recreation field as a driving range. The S4 Golf Academy will be offering golf lessons, clinics, and golf teambuilding for groups of 10 or more. All aspects of golf will be taught and facilitated by S4 Tour Pros, Greg Sampson and Chad Spencer. Their staff brings their formal and tournament resumes ensuring that every guest receives the highest level of tour-quality instruction. The S4 Tour pros have competed at some of the highest levels of professional golf and are certified in the S4 Solution, a tour professional's golf philosophy: Stretch, Score, Set-Up & Swing.

Add Learning, Laughing, and Fun to your next meeting...
Plan your next overnight retreat or day meeting with a 1/2 day agenda focusing on your organization's needs. Then spend the remaining half of the day playing golf. Greg and Chad can develop programming for beginners, intermediate, and advanced players. All programs are customized to meet your individual needs. Imagine a day filled with learning, laughing, and fun and at the same time improving your golf game while increasing interpersonal relationships with your employees.

If your agenda is tight...
why not consider an 1 1/2 hour golf clinic? It will be extremely entertaining while still providing a structured learning environment. Look forward to learning the basics of golf in everyday terms so even the most inexperienced player benefits. Learn that routine and confidence are your two most important assets.

Plan a corporate getaway...
The ultimate overnight retreat ....a golf getaway for up to 60 overnight guests.
  • 2 full days for teambuilding and productivity with plenty of time to "squeeze in" golf.
  • 14 hours of golf learning, scoring, and entertainment will be facilitated by the S4 Tour Pros.
  • Lessons are divided into 6 hours of classroom and range learning along with 8 hours of course time (at the Foster Country Club), all customized to meet your needs.

FLY FISHING
Take a break from your meeting and learn the art of fly fishing. We have instructors available for private and group lessons. Reservations are required, and the fly fishing equipment is provided.

Our instructors will provide beginners and "old pros" with enough skills to catch a fish on a fly. Because of the personal attention you will receive, your skills at any level will be improved. Whether you are new to fly fishing, or an experienced angler, our school is sure to provide you with new skills, knowledge and techniques that will bring increased pleasure in the sport. Come join us for a most enjoyable and rewarding way to learn this pastime. Schools run from three hour workshops to two-day sessions, starting early May through late September.

Pricing is $100.00 per hour per instructor with a minimum of 3 hours of instruction. Ratio of 5 students to 1 instructor is the guideline for instruction.

SAILING
Brandaris Sailing Charter

The Dutch sailing ship Brandaris represents about as classic a Dutch sailing canal barge as you may find anywhere. A huge cockpit aft provides safety and comfort for large groups, and broad stable decks welcome you forward to enjoy the huge expanse of space available for your enjoyment. With its home berth in Wickford Harbor, she offers unique opportunities to view Narragansett Bay in ways even the most avid boaters overlook or are unable to duplicate. Seal watching and nature excursions are available.
