Beyond the Score 004 - Growing the game and Snag Golf

Lately I have been hearing how golf is in trouble as the number of players is dropping and clubs are forcing to close. Lots of ideas have been brought up but we must start at introducing the game to the younger generation.

Snag golf has a done a great job at doing this. Find out why I think it's great and why it's important to get the youngsters involved early on.

Hey Mark,

I can't tell you how he did but since my video I remembered another fellow assistant Professional who is doing the same thing. He tweeted a message on Twitter to our provincial's governing golf body and they responded with the person I am to get in touch with.

I would suggest contacting a principle or school board to see the direction you would need to go. See if there is after school programs in your area as well.

Let me know if you need a hand with anything.

Hey Jordan, Thanks for putting your message (and yourself) out there for all of us who want to keep the focus on growing the game. You mentioned that you have a friend who is promoting the game using SNAG equipment through elementary schools. Can you get expand on his efforts? Does he have an "in" with a local school district so he can pitch his program? Did he just walk in with a carload of SNAG stuff and demo the concept to an athletic director? Would love to learn more. Thanks again!
