Thinking
about doing something you really love?
Like playing
and teaching golf?
How would you
like to achieve your dreams faster than you thought
possible? Well, you can!
Golf is a business. Businesses require cash.
Imagine
starting a business that requires:
 No major capital investment (less than $2,500 required) No products to purchase
Has a market with continued growth potential
No inventory to sell
No delivery of any product
No collections (this is a cash business)
No quotas
No employees
No customer risk
No long hours
No major overhead, if any at all

Becoming a professional golf teacher
is the answer.
Opportunities to teach golf are enormous.
At private
and semi-private golf clubs many opportunities abound
for those teachers who are personable and offer interpersonal
skills. Those teachers who belong to a club are able
to relate to the "whole family" and are at ease with
their membership, offer a head pro an alternative to
allow the pro to take a vacation and to reduce his teaching
workload. Being able to conduct yourself professionally,
dress the part and play better than the membership are
ideal ingredients to enhance your teaching practice.
 For your convenience, five day certification courses
are held every month in California, Nevada and Arizona.
Our teaching sites offer both ideal weather and cities
and that offer year round teaching an opportunity
for a family vacation should you so desire. The PGTAA
also conducts certification courses in Europe, Canada,
South Africa, Asia and Australia.
