The partnership involved no financial transaction between the two parties, she added. With support from Nike Golf, American Golf plans to aggressively expand its learning centers, which now operate at 14 locations. They expect to open 26 more in April and in two years expect to have 130 in operation, Moret-Shenkiryk said. The learning centers help golfers, primarily newcomers, not only to make that adjustment but learn other important issues such as etiquette, golf terminology and pace of play - subjects that most golfers have had to discover on their own. The program's goal is to make the game as user-friendly as possible, even covering topics such as how to operate a golf cart and how to reserve a tee time.
Programs are available for new golfers as well as for intermediate and advanced players.
Various junior programs also are offered. The perk is designed to motivate instructors to maintain relationships with their students and encourage them to continue playing the game. Time4 Media .
