Watch the Make Golf Your Thing Segments on NBC Sports Philadelphia’s “Inside Golf”

This year, “Inside Golf,” the weekly local golf show that airs on NBC Sports Philadelphia, partnered with the Philadelphia PGA Section and Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board to produce golf instruction segments as part of the Make Golf Your Thing initiative, a collaborative effort across the golf industry to ensure the future of golf is open to everyone.

PGA Member Meg Donohue of Manufacturers’ Golf & Country Club in Fort Washington, Pa., provided free golf lessons to two beginners, Megan from Valley Forge Tourism & Convention Board, and Marisa from WMMR, introducing them to the game of golf, teaching them how to swing the club, play the game, and appreciate everything the sport has to offer. The Section also provided both Megan and Marisa with full sets of Cobra Golf clubs with Sun Mountain golf bags to get them started on their journey in golf.

Tune-In Alert: 2022 Women’s PGA Cup Highlight Show

2022 PGA Cup & Women’s PGA Cup Highlight Shows Promo on Golf Channel from PGA of America on Vimeo.

Golf Channel will air the 2022 PGA and Women’s PGA Cup Highlight Shows beginning Monday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. ET (Men’s) and 7:30 p.m. ET (Women’s). The Highlight Shows will spotlight both victorious United States teams, as well as compelling storylines throughout both competitions.

The U.S. team, captained by 42nd PGA President Suzy Whaley (then PGA Honorary President), captured the 30th PGA Cup 15.5 – 10.5 over Great Britain & Ireland this past September at Foxhills Resort & Club in Surrey, England. It marked the U.S. team’s first overseas victory since 2009, its second consecutive Llandudno International Trophy and the country’s 19th win in the series against Great Britain & Ireland dating back to 1973.

The U.S. Women’s team rallied to win the Women’s PGA Cup by two strokes over Canada in October at Twin Warriors Golf Club in Santa Ana Pueblo, New Mexico. The U.S., captained by 43rd PGA President Jim Richerson (current PGA Honorary President), overcame a five-stroke deficit during the final round en route to winning its second consecutive Women’s PGA Cup. The U.S. won the inaugural event in 2019 at the Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa in Austin, Texas.
