Professional Golf Referees Association Announces Launch of New Website

DALLAS - July 12, 2016 - PRLog -- The Professional Golf Referees Association ("PGRA"), the union overseeing the interests of the PGA Tour referees, has launched its new and improved Web site.

PGRA's new Web site provides visitors with the opportunity to learn the rules of golf from the best in the business. Avid golfers, casual followers, and newcomers alike will equally find the Web site informative and interesting.

PGRA's Web site offers an attractive new design, easy-to-navigate functionality, and a content-rich site. The Web site focuses on increasing education and engagement with golf fans. PGRA's new Web site will provide visitors an inside look at golf at the highest level. Specifically, PGRA will provide inside access to the following:
