ne of the challenges of
every corporate golf
outing is appealing to
non-golfers, or people who
aren't comfortable enough
playing on a championship
golf course.
Indian Wells Golf Resort has
come up with a unique and fun
solution that also will help
spark more interest in the game.
SNAG (Starting New at
Golf) is now being offered
for team-building events,
juniors, and as a way for
non-golfers to participate
in events without play-
ing the course.
"We're trying to grow the
game and I think it's going to
reduce barriers," said Joe
Williams, Director of Golf at
Indian Wells Golf Resort.
"For our resort clientele, we
thought it would fit extremely
well – especially since we get
a lot of beginners and corpo-
rate outings."
The equipment, which can
be set up quickly, is comprised
of colorful giant-headed clubs
and oversized tennis ball-like
golf balls that make it easy for
beginners to quickly find suc-
cess hitting the ball.
The idea of bringing the
SNAG equipment occurred
at a sales conference where
SNAG was featured at an in-
troductory dinner event.
The SNAG system explains
the game much differently
than golf pros explain the
game, Williams said.
SNAG refers to clubs associ-
ated with their function –
putters are called rollers and
irons are launchers. "That
makes sense to a beginning
golfer," Williams says. "You're
going to launch the ball into
the air or roll it to the hole."
Williams plans to incorpo-
rate the SNAG equipment for
juniors and corporate events
with his teaching staff avail-
able for lessons.
"Our entire staff is onboard
with it," says Williams. "We're
going to use it for junior clinics
and corporate events and also
our regular lessons."
