Members of the Northern Ohio Professional Golfers Association will offer free golf lessons once again when the Cleveland Golf and Travel Show returns to the I-X Center this Friday through Sunday, February 17-19.
Show attendees can receive a free 10-minute golf lesson from any one of a number of NOPGA Golf Professionals simply by reporting to the NOPGA instruction area and signing up.
Lessons will be available on Friday (11 a.m. to 5 p.m.), Saturday (10 a.m. to 6 p.m.) and Sunday (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
NOPGA officials estimate that close to 500 lessons were taught during the 2020 show, which returns after a two-year absence due to Covid.
