The PGA plays an important role in helping to promote and grow the game in Scotland through clubgolf.
Many PGA members are instrumental in delivering coaching programmes and bringing through the next generations of golfers.
The PGA is one of several golfing bodies involved in Scotland's ambitious clubgolf project which has targeted introducing every nine-year-old north of the border (some 50,000) to golf by 2009.
Clubgolf has outlined a number of objectives including a customised approach to taking golf into the community, a core programme of skills, learning, practice, and play for 9-15 year old boys and girls, coaching and competition for talented golfers at regional and national level plus specialist support for potential international and professional players.
In addition clubgolf is looking to retain 50,000 children in the programme, ensure 20,000 youngsters experience golf in a community golf programme setting and see the creation of 200 clubgolf centres.
Other partners in Scotland's Junior Golf Strategy are the Scottish Golf Union, sportscotland, the Scottish Ladies' Golfing Association, the Scottish Executive and the Golf Foundation.
