PGA Golf Professionals
do much more than play golf!
PGA Golf Day was established by PGA Professionals in the Southwest Section with a goal to raise money for selected local charities and to highlight the value of the PGA Professional in local communities. Today, this program and this website serve to facilitate the efforts of PGA Sections across the country in raising much-needed funds for their local philanthropies and foundations.
The concept of the website itself is to automate the fundraising process and to expand the collective reach of a Section's fundraising efforts. By engaging as many participants as possible, fundraising results are growing exponentially with unlimited scalability. Most Sections conduct a 100 hole golf marathon, although this is not mandatory for participation. Players register themselves online and formulate their own personal web pages, then send emails or do what they can to direct supporters to their pages and make contributions. Donation receipts and custom Thank You letters are sent to supporters automatically.
National, Sectional and individual leaderboards provide real-time updates and standings of all fundraising activity and contributions.
Participating Sections may choose to adopt the PGA Golf Day model or continue already established fundraising programs through this website. Whether you are a donor, fundraiser, charity, or PGA Section, we hope you'll enjoy taking part in this wonderful program.

Shawn Goben is in the process of setting a new record for PGA Golf Day beating the $31,275.00 he rasied in 2010 for the athletes of Special Olympics Arizona and the Southwest PGA Foundation. He played 108 holes of golf on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at Desert Mountain. He played all six courses at Desert Mountain and ran the entire thing! Including from greens to tees and from course to course with no rides at anytime! That equals more than 26.22 miles of golf and over 40 miles total running!! What a feat!!
Congratulations Shawn for this tremendous effort!!
