COBRA PUMA Golf's full-range portfolio includes COBRA’s high-performance drivers, fairways, hybrids, wedges, irons, and putters, as well as PUMA Golf’s sport lifestyle-inspired footwear, apparel and accessories. Fusing performance and style, COBRA PUMA Golf brings a focus on innovation, technology, compelling design and superior performance with an edge to the global golf marketplace.
New this past spring, COBRA Golf introduced its fourth generation of KING Forged TEC Irons, which feature three significant improvements including a 5-step forged body and face, a sleeker topline with reduced offset, and a lighter and softer foam for improved sound and feel. The irons carry over a hollow body design with tungsten weighting and PWRSHELL technology that together provides enhanced distance with improved stability in a more compact shape. The Forged TEC Irons are available in a variable or ONE Length setup, which are both fully forged. The latest edition debuted a third model to the family with the Forged TEC X, which offers more forgiveness in a players’ game-improvement shape. All three models can be custom fitted for golfers to enhance performance.
COBRA PUMA Golf is a Gold-level Preferred Partner of the Association and is the presenting sponsor of the Jack McLaughlin Memorial PGA of BC Pro-Junior Championship. For more information on COBRA PUMA Golf, please visit cobragolf.ca and pumagolf.cobragolf.ca

CALL FOR PGA OF BC CAREER ADVISORY PROGRAM MENTORS |
|
The PGA of BC Career Advisory Program offers the opportunity for Class “A” members to gain valuable Professional Development Points mentoring new Association members.
Interested parties are kindly asked to complete a short survey, helping the Association’s Administration Team to build a pool of qualified expertise to help bolster the mentorship initiative. As a mentor, members will be able to earn 2 PDP points per mentee (up to a maximum of 4 points).
The survey can be found HERE . We thank all members who complete the survey and note that 1 PDP point will be awarded for a fulsome submission. Due to the anticipated high level of participation in the program, and the likelihood that more qualified mentors will exist than mentees, the PGA of BC appreciates all applicants' understanding that they may not be assigned a mentee during the course of 2023.
If you have any questions about the program, please reach out to Dan Czerwenka, PGA of BC Programs Manager, at dan@pgabc.org.
