game of golf in a fast, fun and affordable way through the new Get Golf Ready
in 5 Days program. The new industry-wide
initiative is comprised of a series of five introductory lessons offered by
PGA/LPGA Professionals in a small-group environment from May 1-July 31, 2009

“The Get Golf Ready program
provides an affordable and rewarding educational experience for those who are
interested in learning more about the game of golf,” PGA Professional Paul

Targeting millions of adults
who have limited or no experience with the game of golf, this new industry-wide
adult player development program’s five lessons provide basic skills instruction
as well as information regarding the background of the game’s rules, etiquette
and values. Significant on-course learning opportunities will be a part of each lesson. Overall, participants will gain insight into
techniques regarding chipping, putting, full swing, half swing and bunker play
as well as the fundamental guidelines regarding the use and maintenance of golf
equipment, keeping score and navigating the course, among others.
Following the completion of
the five-session program, a smooth transition into other Get Golf Ready
graduate outings, such as the free and low-cost programs offered by Play Golf
America (www.PlayGolfAmerica.com), will be provided.
Get Golf Ready was announced
in November 2008 as part of the World Golf Foundation’s Golf 20/20
initiative. Currently in its inaugural
year, the program is benefiting from unprecedented support and collaboration
from the entire golf industry, including the World Golf Foundation, The PGA of
America and other leading national and state golf associations, organizations,
manufacturers, media and companies.
