New Jersey chapter sponsors Get Golf Ready program

The Golf Course Superintendents Association of New Jersey recently became a Par level sponsor of Get Golf Ready, an industrywide initiative organized by the World Golf Foundation to connect adults to the sport of golf. The program features five introductory lessons for $99.

New Jersey is the first superintendents’ chapter to commit $1,000 a year for the next three years. Richard Heysek, director of corporate relations of The World Golf Foundation, says “the commitment of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of New Jersey will hopefully inspire other GCSAA chapters to join us in this important effort.”

The PGA of America is providing significant support in the areas of player development, promotion and technology, and has designated Get Golf Ready as the featured Play Golf America program for 2009. A broad industry coalition of more than 60 organizations and individuals have committed more than $2.5 million in funding over three years to support the payment of $1,000 stipends to participating facilities. GCSAA, along with other leading golf organizations, is promoting the initiative to its membership.

“We’re extremely pleased with the overwhelmingly positive industry response to the launch of Get Golf Ready,” says Steve Mona, CEO of the World Golf Foundation.
