The Philadelphia PGA Section, in coordination with our Teaching & Coaching Committee, recently introduced a monthly Coaches Corner virtual discussion series. The series is designed to stimulate conversations and the sharing of golf instruction best practices among our PGA coaches. While the sessions are geared toward full-time PGA directors of instruction and coaches, they are open to PGA Professionals of any classification. Each session will have a discussion leader from the Teaching & Coaching Committee to help moderate the conversations, while some sessions may include guest speakers.

The next session is scheduled for Wednesday, June 26 at 5:00 p.m. ET, and will be led by PGA of America Golf Professional Michael Breed.
