Play Golf Minnesota Week Tees Off April 27

Although the ground is still blanketed in snow, it’s not too early to start thinking green – as in the putting green. With more than 500 courses and more players per capita than any other state, Minnesota is preparing to officially kick off the golf season with Play Golf Minnesota Week, April 27-May 3.

The Minnesota Section Professional Golf Association (PGA) and the Minnesota Golf Association (MGA) are pairing up to host the third annual Play Golf Minnesota Week, filled with events for golfers of every age and skill level.

“Play Golf Minnesota Week is a great opportunity to dust off those clubs and get out on the links after a long winter,” said Jeff Drimel, president of the Minnesota Section PGA.

“This week has something for everyone – whether young or old, novice or expert,” said Tom Ryan, executive director and chief operating officer of the MGA. “New players can take advantage of events like Free Lesson Day, and families can spend time together on the course during Family Day.”
