The world’s oldest and largest golf college, San Diego Golf Academy (SDGA) and the National High School Golf Coaches Association (NHSGCA) announce a new partnership that will provide NHSGCA members with enhanced educational opportunities.

As part of the new alliance, SDGA will provide the NHSGCA with monthly ‘eLearning’ golf tips, hold training workshops and partner in developing online training and certification programs for NHSGCA members. The innovative partnership illustrates SDGA’s commitment to continued education and to ensuring that golf students receive the best possible leadership, coaching and education.

“The NHSGCA provides its member coaches with great opportunities to share their knowledge and experience with their peers through its newsletter and on the website, and we’re extremely proud to work with them in increasing that pool of knowledge and opportunity,” says Patty Adams, Director of Marketing at the San Diego Golf Academy. “We know coaches of all experience levels will benefit from these new programs and services.”

"NHSGCA is excited to have a partner the caliber of SDGA as a partner for its education program," says Michelle Pond, NHSGCA executive director. "The enhancements provided by this partnership will benefit all of our members and subsequently, their players."

The National High School Golf Coaches Association (NHSGCA), a non-profit professional association for high school golf coaches, provides national leadership, meaningful educational programs and services for high school golf coaches and promotes the educational values of high school golf. Additionally, the NHSGCA works with other key golf associations and organizations, such as SDGA, as part of an ongoing effort to improve coaching at the high school level.
