the ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark Bacheldor, current PGA Program Director, and several others spoke about the PGA program and how it has grown over the past 20 years. Many acknowledged the donors and staff members who helped make the renovated space possible through their vision and financial contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is a place where everyone belongs and will always belong,&#8221; said Bacheldor. &#8220;Where students will collaborate, where they will meet, where we introduce new students to a career in the PGA of America, where we educate students, where students grow and learn. It will embody the spirit of its new namesake: Ed&#8217;s Place. Ed was nothing short of welcoming and encouraging, uplifting and inspiring. It is a humbling privilege for me to stand here today and dedicate this space to Ed&#8217;s honor; with the promise that this program and this space will forever be welcoming to all.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>On Aug. 26, the UCCS PGA Golf Management program celebrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Ed\u2019s Place, a newly renovated space that will serve as the program\u2019s Alumni Hall of Fame, alumni showcase, Club Repair Lab, learning laboratory and more. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/?p=142389\" title=\"Photo Feature: PGA Golf Management Ribbon Cutting \u2013 Ed&#8217;s Place\">(More)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":67,"featured_media":142398,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,12,13],"tags":[40,332,277,197],"class_list":["post-142389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-events","category-photo-features","tag-college-of-business","tag-more-news","tag-pga-golf-management-program","tag-photo-feature"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/IMG_0911.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1mBpJ-B2B","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/67"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=142389"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142389\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":142511,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142389\/revisions\/142511"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/142398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=142389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=142389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=142389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
