The current PDR (formerly MSR) cycle began June 16, 2022 and will run through June 15, 2025.
The Minnesota Section PGA has various opportunities to attend seminars and educations virtually and in-person throughout the year.
Upcoming Opportunities:
PGA HOPE Training
March 22, 2023 at Braemar Golf Course / Braemar Dome
**7 PDRs available for all PGA Members in attendance
PGA Hope Instructor Training at Braemar Golf Club and inside the Dome in Edina, MN. The Minnesota PGA is teaming up with PGA REACH to provide specialized training to our PGA Professionals on adaptive golf training. Attendees will be trained on the best and most effective methods for coaching wounded warriors, veterans, and those with physical limitations. Students will be better prepared to engage the veteran communities in which they serve and engage in PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) programming. The session will be a combination of classroom and practical, hands-on training with a National Trainer.
All PGA Members who are involved in a PGA HOPE program must be a PGA HOPE certified instructor. Unless you attend a training, you are not a certified instructor.
