Virginia State University has unveiled a new golf simulator donated by the Professional Golfers’ Association of America.

A second simulator was awarded through the university’s participation in the White House HBCU Golf Consortium, a national initiative aimed at increasing diversity in the golf industry and exposing students to professional opportunities.

The facility, located inside the VSU Fitness/Wellness Center at Daniel Gymnasium, features two high-tech simulator bays and a putting green. It is open to students, faculty and staff.

“We are very excited about this new golf simulator and how it will benefit not only our student-athletes but the broader Virginia State University community,” said Rodney Hall, deputy chief of staff and a leader of the initiative. “It will allow us to introduce more students to the game of golf and spark interest in a global industry.”
