While Colin Morikawa made Open history on the course, The PGA’s dedicated team of coaches delivered thousands of free golf lessons across eight days off it at this year’s Open Championship.
The R&A Swingzone, situated on the 18th fairway at Royal St. George’s, was once again another popular attraction at this year’s Open Championship.
More than 1,500 people, of all ages, ability and gender, took advantage of a free 15-minue golf lesson from a dedicated and passionate team of PGA Professionals.
