The New Jersey Golf Foundation has supported the ProShow since the start. In this episode, we provide our support to their programming. In 2022, they opened the Inspiration Driving Range on the campus of the Lyons VA Center. Keith visited the facility for today's show.
It was a vanguard move to purchase the property and provide a suitable homesite for all of their clinics, events and programs. The NJGF has three pillars; youth, military and special needs. The range provides a wonderful opportunity for the Foundation to grow the game in an awesome environment.
Andy Brock is the Director of Instruction at the range. The 2014 NJPGA Golf Professional of the Year joins us to describe the day to day. Alongside Andy, one of the NJGF interns, Bryce Walker calls in as well.
Between the two of them they describe for Keith:
- The local PGA HOPE program
- PGA Junior League
- The weekly range activities
- Great player moments from the first season
- What they love about working at the range
Surrounded by nine holes and all open to the public, this facility is one of a kind. The partnership taking place here is an example for all golf foundations to follow. Congratulations to Executive Director Chris Hunt and the NJGF Board for bringing this all together. If you need a great feel good episode, make sure you listen!
