It is free on Sunday Jan. 25, and conducted by TGA of Coachella Valley in partnership with Humana and the Clinton Foundation.
LA QUINTA, CA – Youth golfers throughout southern California and the desert will have an opportunity to learn the game of golf in a fun and exciting atmosphere at the TGA Premier Junior Golf Clinic presented by PowerBilt on Sunday Jan. 25, during the final round of the PGA Tour’s Humana Challenge.
The free junior golf clinic – from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the PGA WEST driving range – is open to youth ages six and up. The students will learn a wide range of golf skills including full swing, short game and putting, and all equipment will be provided at no cost by PowerBilt. Participants will also receive a “Goodie Bag,” as well as complimentary admission to watch the PGA Tour stars that day in the Humana Challenge.
The junior clinic, conducted by the talented staff of TGA of Coachella Valley, is sponsored by PowerBilt Golf, HB Foundation and Lumpy’s golf shops, and will enrich the lives of hundreds of area youth. In addition to the golf clinic, Humana will be providing many other activities geared toward youth on Jan. 25, which is designated as Kids’ Day at the Humana Challenge.
“With PowerBilt being fully engaged in growing junior golf through our equipment and working with TGA for over 10 years, it was a natural fit to come together with Humana and the Clinton Foundation and give back to our community and southern California by enriching the lives of youth through the lifelong sport of golf,” Ross Kvinge, CEO of PowerBilt and owner of the TGA of Coachella Valley, said.
TGA Premier Junior Golf, the leading school-based golf enrichment program in the country and PowerBilt Golf, a leader in golf equipment manufacturing, continues its long standing commitment to junior golf and creating pathways, like this clinic, that truly impact youth and grow the game.
