✨ The Year of the Member continues! This month, we are highlighting the PGA Professionals dedicated to growing the game of golf and passing the passion down through generations.
We are proud to feature Tyler Piekarski, PGA, Head Golf Professional at Button Hole in Rhode Island.
...For Tyler, this is a true full-circle journey. Having grown up as a “Button Hole kid” himself, he now leads the very programs that shaped his own love for the sport.
As a unique 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, Button Hole is breaking down barriers to make golf accessible to everyone. Under Tyler’s leadership, the facility teaches over 1,000 kids every single year—with half of them participating entirely for free! Once they complete a program, juniors receive their Button Hole Kids Card, allowing them to play the course or hit a bucket of balls for just $1 until they turn 18.
The growth doesn’t stop there. Tyler is fostering a vibrant community with 70 juniors participating in the PGA Junior League this summer (many on scholarship), alongside adult development programs that welcome over 600 adult golfers annually.
