INLAND GOLF ACADEMY BRINGS EDUCATION

Mr. Greg Prator and Ambassador for Peace Dr. Clyde Rivers

Greg Prator, Founder of Inland Golf Academy and a professional golf instructor, has put together a program of teaching life skills through the sport of golf. Golf, normally a sport for the affluent, is being made assessable to all walks of life.

Ambassador for Peace, Dr. Clyde Rivers said, “I have seen nothing like what Inland Golf Academy is doing in the world in the golf sports arena. Mr. Prator, through IGA, has created a life skills curriculum that uses the sport of golf to teach life skills. It is helping people realize that they can become good at a sport that has been primarily reserved for the affluent, and feel good about themselves and what they are learning.  This life skills training through golf will be very instrumental in the peace building process in the nations of the world.”

Peace Ambassador Rivers feels this is a concept that will work in the world for a long time.
