The Minnesota Section PGA has various opportunities to attend seminars and educations online throughout the year.
Upcoming Opportunities:
Best Practices in Speed Training – Join Luke Benoit and Scott McDonald, the creators of Rypstick as they walk you through the science of speed. This educational offering will focus on the benefits of speed training for all golfers. Why does speed training work and what do the studies show about possible distance gains? What would a speed training program look like with your students and how easy is it to get started? What other workouts/exercises needed to be incorporated to see maximum gains? How does speed training benefit your students and grow the programming at your club? The distance topic is hotter than ever, join us for this webinar to learn how your students can bomb it!
PGA Members joining live will receive 2 MSRs. Your individual join link will be sent upon registration.
