Simulators: PGA Jr. League & Family Golf | October 23rd | 11:00 – 12:00 p.m.

Winter is coming and for many parts of the country, that means no outdoor golf. With the golf boom over the past few years, we have also seen a simulator boom, where more and more people want to play year-round. We have had a lot of inquiries from coaches on best practices for running PGA Jr. League and PGA Family Golf on a simulator so we got a few rock star coaches together to help share how they run PGA Jr. League and PGA Family Golf all season long even in the colder months. Join us in a conversation about everything from pricing, to format, to instruction and everything in between! Whether you have snow on the ground in the upcoming months or are looking for a way to use an indoor space for those rainy days please join us to learn about how to utilize your indoor space!
