2021 Colorado PGA REACH Pillar Grant Applications Available

Applications are being accepted for the Colorado PGA REACH Pillar Grant Program – previously known as Growth of the Game Grants.

Click here to access the application.


The mission of this program is to provide financial assistance to facilities within the geographic boundaries of the Colorado Section PGA, that employ PGA Members in good standing, to develop and/or significantly enhance programs that align with the three pillars of our Colorado PGA REACH Foundation to attract and retain new golfers.

The Pillar Grant Program provides funding to assist with the costs of providing instruction, course/facility access and PGA Family Tees ONLY. Funding will only be approved for programs that align with:


  • Youth Development Programs such as Golf in Schools, PGA Jr. League, Drive, Chip and Putt, etc.;
  • Supporting Our Military, specifically launching a PGA HOPE program; and
  • Diversity & Inclusion Programs targeting women and minorities.


What the program will not fund are facility construction and/or enhancements, administrative and indirect costs of a program, individual high school or collegiate teams, or private individuals and endowments.


Because funding is designed to assist our PGA Members with the development of new programs at their facilities, only one program per facility will be approved. Also, a facility will only be eligible to receive a grant for two years within a five-year time period. Second-year funding will automatically be approved upon receipt of the Program Follow-up Report from the PGA Member and facility. Follow-up Reports, along with the financial accounting of how the funds were utilized, are due by noon the first Monday in December. Failure to meet the report deadline will automatically prohibit second-year funding. NO EXCEPTIONS WILL BE MADE.


Those interested in being considered for a Colorado PGA REACH Pillar Grant must submit a completed application to Colorado PGA REACH. A PGA Member in good standing on behalf of the facility in which the PGA Member is employed must sign and submit the application.


The deadline for submitting completed applications is Monday, March 15, 2021. Grant recipients will be announced at the Spring Meeting on Monday, March 29, 2021. Colorado PGA REACH and the Colorado Section PGA assumes no responsibility for timely delivery of applications sent via the U.S. Postal Service or any other document delivery service.


Questions can be directed to Justin Limon at jlimon@pgahq.com or at 303-996-1588.

Centennial, Colo. - It was a beautiful day to crown a champion at Valley Country Club for the 67th Colorado PGA Professional Championship. Geoff Keffer, PGA Assistant Professional at Lakewood Country Club began the day with a two-shot lead over Tristin Goodwin, PGA Assistant Professional at Cherry Hills Country Club. Goodwin started the day red hot as he birdied four of his first six holes and added an eagle on hole 5 as he holed his wedge shot from 40 yards out. After hole 6 Goodwin had flipped a two-shot deficit into a three-shot lead. “My strategy did not change, but my mindset definitely changed a little bit, I started to feel more pressure as I was leading the golf tournament now,” Goodwin said. Bogies on holes 7 and 9, the two par threes on the front nine, and a birdie from Keffer on 7, Goodwin and Keffer made the turn to the back nine dead even at 9-under-par.
