FREDONIA — The Fredonia Business Club, a student group open to all majors at the State University at Fredonia, is developing a program to provide basic golf lessons and course etiquette for students.

Recent studies have indicated that women and minorities feel that they are excluded from the informal networking that happens in their workplaces, especially the networking that often occurs on the golf course. To address this issue, the Business Club has started a new program with the goal of helping to improve students’ golf skills.

Those who have gently used golf clubs and bags and want to donate them can email advisor Mark Nickerson at mark.nickerson@fredonia.edu. The goal is to make the program an annual one with lessons in the fall culminating with actual course time in the spring.
