The PGTAA's Refuse To Lose™ Philosophy Policy

Special Notice

Please don't be fooled by imitators of the Professional Golf Teachers Association of America. It has come to our attention that several other organizations are attempting to hijack our reputation, mimic our unique programs, especially our Home Study module, and in some cases, leverage even our name, as their own.

While these other programs and teaching organizations direct their marketing materials and resources to the targeting of all applicants (to cover their extensive advertising and marketing costs), whether qualified or not, the PGTAA's philosophy and target market is that individual/golfer who desires to be a teaching professional in the field and not just an enthusiast.

We do not offer various levels of certifications designed to separate you from your money and whose “membership/certification/levels of instructor” cards are useless and of zero value in the golf industry.

There is only one Professional Golf Teachers Association of America, and you can always find us at WWW.PGTAA.COM
