The PGA of America Membership Committee has launched a comprehensive “Mentoring Initiative”. This program was created to support Associates throughout their journey to offer guidance and answers to questions every step of the way.
As you go through the program, we encourage you to connect with the Michigan PGA Members listed in the industry categories below. They’re here to help you navigate the learning process, offer real-world insights, and support your growth.
