College Corner
The 2016 NJPGA College Seminar at Fiddler’s Elbow Country Club featured over a dozen speakers who are involved in the golf business. Speakers at the event included former NJPGA Junior Tour players and those with backgrounds as PGA Professionals, college golf competitions, PGM Management programs, and golf coaching. This program is to help junior golfers look at the next step after high school, whether they want to play competitive golf or get into the golf business.
For those interested in attending a college with a PGM Golf Management program, please see the list of schools below.
