The PGA (Professional Golfers' Association) has a rich history that dates back to its establishment in 1916. Originally known as the Professional Golfers' Association of America, it was created by a group of golf professionals to promote and elevate the status of golf as a profession. The organization aimed to provide support and resources to golf professionals and enhance the overall growth and development of the sport.

In the early years, the PGA primarily focused on organizing professional tournaments and establishing guidelines and standards for golf professionals. It played a crucial role in formalizing the rules of golf and conducting championships, including the PGA Championship, one of the four major golf tournaments.

Over time, the PGA expanded its scope beyond tournament organization and began offering educational programs, certifications, and career development opportunities for golf professionals. It aimed to improve the skills and expertise of its members and enhance the overall professionalism of the sport.

In addition to its educational initiatives, the PGA also became involved in golf course management, with many of its members assuming leadership roles in the management and operation of golf facilities. This led to the establishment of the PGA Golf Management program, which offers a comprehensive curriculum for aspiring golf industry professionals.

The PGA Tour, the premier professional golf tour in the United States, is a subsidiary of the PGA. It was officially formed in 1968 when the PGA restructured its tournament system to create a separate entity dedicated to organizing and managing professional golf events. The PGA Tour became synonymous with some of the most prestigious tournaments in golf, including The Players Championship, the FedExCup playoffs, and the PGA Tour Championship.

Q: What’s the effect of water on a driver? – andy_sp1 

On any clubface, water is going to reduce friction. The result is invariably higher launch with reduced spin. While that’s not ideal with a wedge, with a driver it can be a good thing—in some cases. 

Over the years, we’ve seen a few products designed to cut spin (and with that, help reduce a slice). Several years ago, we did a test with a product called No Slice (I don’t think it exists anymore) alongside cooking spray and butter. While not legal (as far as the USGA is concerned), all three helped cut spin and improve accuracy. While water will do the same, given the lower loft, the impact won’t be nearly as significant as it is with other forms of driver lube.
