“At the World of Golf we understand the future of the game is dependent on getting more young people to enjoy our fantastic sport and achieving this is at the heart of our business.”

Tony Howarth SNAG Master trainer who visited the World of Golf just prior to the Easter Holiday said: “It’s great to see SNAG making such an impact. It shows the appeal of the equipment to new audiences of all ages, a perfect transition from the adventure golf to the driving range.
