Pace of Play Initiative
As you all know, the IHSGCA, the IHSAA, the Indiana PGA, and the Indiana Golf Association have been working together over the winter to help improve pace of play for junior golf in Indiana. Mr. Bobby Cox just released a memo regarding the efforts of this group. Click here for a copy of this memo for your review. I am part of this group and if you have any questions, feel free to call me directly. I can be reached at john@inokllc.com.
New Coaching Resources
Exclusive School Program
The IHSGCA has just teamed up with Guide For Golf to help all Indiana high school coaches be better golf coaches which will make their teams more competitive. Guide for Golf gives coaches and players access to more than 250 PGA instructional golf videos and EXCLUSIVE Coaches and Players platforms to help track stats, communicate team schedule, monitor rounds posted, and develop custom lesson plans for player development all year long! The best part of Guide For Golf is that every Indiana high school golf coach and their players can use it for FREE. Yes, I said FREE. What do you have to lose? Nothing. I encourage you to go to their website and sign up. If you don’t like what they have to offer, then don’t use it. Lastly, Guide For Golf has a fundraising program that you can use to raise hundreds of dollars per year for your golf program. By clicking the Guide For Golf banner above under 2018 IHSGCA Sponsors, you can get lots more information about Guide for Golf.
