Client's interesting questions
Many of my golfing clients looking to make the desert their primary residence,
always ask me about my teaching and coaching of PGA pros. How can they use their
skills and education and more importantly, their love of golf, so they too can
teach golf.
Below is a recent article that I send to my clients. A little different aspect but variety is the spice of life.

To succeed at teaching
golf, it's important to play well but more vital to develop the ability to
convey the game’s nuances to others. Then, you must enroll in a short training
program at a recognized golf instruction academy and, in many cases, pass a
licensing exam. Certification by the PGTAA versus PGA differs
greatly. PGA certification as a Class A Pro includes ALL aspects of the
golf industry such as retailing, food and beverage, tournament operations and
grounds keeping. Its teaching module is basically a small percentage of
the curriculum. For many seeking a career as a professional golf instructor,
the majority of information conveyed might be a waste of time and money. The
PGTAA Golf Academy Class A Pro curriculum is totally focused on teaching
techniques with a strong emphasis on marketing your services and solving
student's problems; making them better players and much more comfortable with
their games.
In recognition of the industry's growth and the demand for qualified golf
pros, the PGTAA golf instruction school was established to provide
extensive training to individuals as well as many established golf teachers
with years of experience behind them. Aside from the PGA, PGTAA certification is the most highly sought
after teaching designation from any golf instruction school. Becoming a PGTAA professional is one of the most important
steps you will take during your professional golf teaching career. Becoming
associated and certified by the PGTAA enhances ones credibility, fine
tunes teaching skills and enhances earning capacity. PGTAA graduates have
achieved positions including head professional at private as well as public
country clubs, golf schools, driving ranges, golf learning centers,
indoor driving ranges as well as becoming high school and college coaches.
Graduates also hold positions as managers of both public and private golf facilities.
Custom club makers have been able to add golf
instruction as a new dimension to their businesses, generating additional
revenue. For club fitting professionals, enhancing your professionalism
with the addition of a PGTAA Master Teaching Professional certification
will be a major catalyst in increasing revenue in existing businesses. Dino
Payer of Golf Mont Cascades relates, “After I took the PGTAA course I
got a job at Mont Cascades Golf about half an hour north of Ottawa , Ontario , Canada . I am now running the golf operations and I am the head teaching Pro. Thanks to your course I
am living the dream.” Information on the PGTAA is available at www.pgtaa.com.
