Redeemable at Participating U.S. Locations, Nov. 4 – 10
GOLFTEC is supporting PGA REACH, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America, by offering one lesson or club fitting session to anyone who first makes a small donation to PGA HOPE, the flagship military engagement program of PGA REACH.
Redeemable at all participating GOLFTEC locations in the United States between Nov. 4 – 10, interested parties can register online now at golftec.com/pgahope. To complete the process, customers simply follow instructions on making a donation, scheduling their lesson or fitting, and showing their receipt upon arrival at GOLFTEC.
