What’s Happening This Week
On Course Paving

PXG Fitting Day
On Thursday, May 16th, PXG will be on site for a fitting and demo day. PXG have made waves on both the PGA and LPGA Tours with players such as Zach Johnson, Ryan Moore, Charl Schwartzel, Lydia Ko & Anna Nordqvist making the switch to Parsons Extreme Golf equipment. In the past, PXG has been viewed as a premier brand with a premium price point. However, the 2019 lineup is more affordable than ever without sacrificing any of the quality that has put PXG on the map. Don’t miss a chance to try out the newest Gen2 Woods, Hybrids and Irons and see if PXG is right for you!
