We’re proud to have them powering our three marquee junior amateur championships in the years ahead.”
The strategic partnership will span across several areas of junior golf development with resources available to junior members of Mass Golf as well as parents and guardians of juniors interested in the game. Exclusive content from KOHR’s team of professionals will include ebooks, podcasts, and video that will center around mental preparedness, fitness, and golf skill improvement.
“KOHR Golf could not be more excited to partner with Mass Golf and provide junior golfers with exposure to our cutting edge education and coaching philosophy,” said Oliver Segal, KOHR Golf’s COO. The shared vision of the leadership of both organizations will undoubtedly provide a platform to develop new and exciting golfing opportunities for the entire Massachusetts golf community this year and beyond.”
