What PGA Professionals Are Saying
“Today brought a lot of opportunities to network with vendors and colleagues about continuing player development growth at our club. Beyond that, it’s always great to look at the new technology that’ll help our students become better players.”
—Noah Horstman, PGA Director of Instruction/Player Development, Beechmont (Ohio) Country Club
“When you’re a PGA Director of Instruction, there’s no better place to learn than here at the PGA Show. You can read articles or watch videos from some of the top teachers in the game, but having the chance to speak to them in person, pick their brains or learn from their seminars is invaluable.” —Bob Madsen, PGA Director of Instruction, Sycuan Golf Resort, San Diego, California
“In my new role with the TPC Network, I’ve been highly involved with employment throughout our 32 facilities. Part of that is looking at ways to enhance diversity within our workforce, and I was able to take advantage of several seminars and meetings this week to make that more feasible.”
—Bill Hughes, PGA Regional Director of Operations, TPC Network, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida
“I always like seeing the biggest and boldest spaces, especially on the equipment side. It’s great to see how companies launch new product and brand themselves each year.”
—Gabby Sinkovic, PGA Student Services Coordinator, North Carolina State University PGA Golf Management, Raleigh, North Carolina
“I’ve been looking for a ‘game-changer’ this week to use at my golf academy and on our practice range. It’s also been exciting to see what innovations there are currently in hitting mats and range products that we could use to make Maui Nui the place to be.”
—David Havens, PGA Director of Golf, Maui Nui Golf Club, Kihei, Hawaii
“Being an instructor and owning Trackman, Swing Catalyst and K Vest, I’ve spent the majority of my time focused on teaching and player development, and have visited those booths to learn what’s new!”
—Brian Jacobs, PGA Director of Instruction, Ridgemont Country Club, Rochester, New York
