Markham, ON (March 28, 2008) – The Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) is pleased to announce a new partnership with The Art of Productions Inc. for its 2008 version of “The Art of Golf”.  Scheduled to run April 29th at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, the event, also supported by Nike Golf Canada, will feature a lineup of several of the world’s top golf instructors.

As a result of the new partnership, junior golfers and their families will benefit from a reduced ticket price for the unique event with all proceeds from junior ticket sales going directly back to support CJGA initiatives.

“’The Art of Golf’ will prove to be a valuable learning experience for anyone interested in improving their game,” said Earl Fritz, Executive Director of the CJGA.  “It will be a stellar lineup of speakers who have worked with the best golfers in the world.”
