Why Group Events
Hosting group events is a great way for a PGA Coach to create community, bring students together and scale their offerings while having a great time. One great thing about PGA Group Events is the marketing and registration pages are hosted directly on pga.com, lending brand recognition and exclusivity as this feature is only available to PGA members.
What you need
Before creating a group event you'll need to create a coach profile, and set your availability. While it is our intent to allow group events to be created without a coach profile, for now, it's required.
Creating an event
To create an event you'll first navigate to your schedule, coach offerings and click on events.
This will bring you to your list of upcoming events, if you have any. Next click on create event.
Once here you'll be brought through a wizard flow where each step asks you a question on the path to creating your event.
Name: Your events name.
Tags: Choose up to 5 describing your event.
Location: Where is your event? These options are currently pulled from your coach profile.
Event date: When is the event. Choose multiple days to create a multi-day event but please note the price you set will be the total for all days.
Use PGA Coach to handle registrations. Selecting "no" will allow you to use an external platform to handle your group event registrations. Please note that once you do that, we have no knowledge of your event attendees and cannot handle payments or provide statistics on your event. We can, however, still promote your event on PGA.com/things-to-do.
Registration close date: How long prior to the event time would you like to stop accepting registrants?
Accept online payments. Can PGA Coach handle payments for you? Click here to get started with online payments.
Restrictions:
Limit attendance: How many attendees is the maximum?
Access Code: Create an access code so only attendees with the code can register.
Price: How much do you want to charge?
Featured Image: The header image that will display on your pga.com marketing page.
Description: What to expect from the event, convince your students why they should come!
Would you like to list this event on PGA.com? Listed events will be discoverable through the event search at pga.com/things-to-do. Unlisted events will not show up in searches and will require you to provide potential attendees with the link in order for them to register.
That's it! You'll see the success page pictured below and be able to copy your unique, public-facing URL to share with your students via email, social media, text message or however else you choose. From that public page, students will be able to register your event!
