With the PGA of America celebrating its centennial this year, each of the 41 PGA Sections is being individually highlighted on Golf Channel through the first portion of 2016, and the Colorado PGA’s day in the spotlight is Friday (April 15).
The CPGA and its work will be featured during Golf Channel’s “Morning Drive”, which on Friday will air from 6:30-8:30 a.m. MT.
In particular, the program that will draw attention on Friday is the Colorado PGA Golf in Schools, a joint initiative of the Allied Golf Associations of Colorado, including the Colorado PGA, CGA, CWGA, the Colorado Open Golf Foundation, the Golf Course Owners Association, the Club Managers Association and the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.
Golf in Schools exposes kids to the game through P.E. classes, and over the last five-plus years, more than 40,000 Colorado youngsters have been reached by the free instructional program. More than 50 golf professionals from the Colorado PGA are involved with Golf in Schools.
The PGA Section Spotlight Series is running on Morning Drive on various days from Jan. 27-May 4. Each profile includes a “Get to Know the PGA Section” fact box and the Section’s signature program.
