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

South Africa, Asia and Australia.
