Golf House Tennessee Programming Roadmap
The goal of the Golf House Tennessee Programming map is to provide a complete programming pathway that works in conjunction with what the Tennessee PGA Section and Tennessee Golf Foundation already have in place to provide opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels. These programs are first ordered by age and then by skill level. These different programs range from allowing junior golfers and even adult golfers to learn the basics and start having fun on the golf course fast to junior golf at an elite level to bringing family members of all ages and skill levels together to play on multi-generational teams. No matter what age or skill level you are, there is a program for you.

National High School Golf Association
Ages 14-18
The NHSGA started because the team at Nextgengolf could not find a good, consistent and reliable resource nationally for high school golf. Our organization wanted to help high school golfers, their coaches, and families, but there was no centralized organization to help. Initially, our goal was to communicate with high school golfers about the opportunity to play club golf in college, but after understanding the high school golf market in more detail, our team realized there is a lot of work to be done to give high school golf the proper time and attention it deserves. In April 2019, the NHSGA became part of The PGA of America through the PGA’s acquisition of Nextgengolf.
