SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The world’s oldest and largest golf college, San Diego Golf Academy (SDGA) announces a new educational partnership with the Spirit of Golf Foundation (SGF), a non-profit organization dedicated to coaching and mentoring junior golfers through a structured curriculum and a professional certification program for coaches.
"The SGF is helping more boys and girls to have access to golf, and that is a goal we proudly support," says Paul Zagnoni, president of the San Diego Golf Academy. "Not only does SGF introduce more kids to the game, but the SGF’s certification program enhances the effectiveness of golf coaches and lays a foundation, based on a formatted curriculum, that elevates the professional status for golf coaches in the industry."
The Spirit of Golf Foundation was created to serve as a valuable resource to make a coach, physical education teacher or youth counselor’s job easier and more productive. SGF coaches and supporters strongly contend that coaching and mentoring junior golfers helps develop a child’s character, integrity, honesty, and respect for others by promoting the intrinsic values found in the game of golf, and they welcome other golf instructors to become an SGF Certified Coaches in their communities.
