There are two conditions:

1. Provided you have passed the written and teaching sections of the 5 day on-site course (or achieve at least 85% on the written exam of the home study course) including the Rules of Golf Section of the course and you are within 4 strokes of the target s core, you may, upon returning home and within a 12-month period, submit to the PGTAA, 4 attested score cards of 83 or less on any championship course (6,000+ yards). These score cards must be attested by any three individuals along with their scores on th e same card, plus signed by the local professional: a total of 4 signatures. The fee for this is $50.

2. Provided you have passed the written and verbal teaching sections of the 5 day on-site course (or the written section of the home study course), including the Rules of Golf Section, but your combined score is beyond 4 strokes of the target score, then the following scenario to upgrade your certification is required:

You must return to any PGTAA certification course within a 12-month period and successfully redo only the PAT portion. The administrative fee is $200, which includes green and cart fees. Accommodations, if needed, can be arranged at an extra cost.

Please contact Susan Lotz in Membership Services prior to proceeding to assure correct processing.

What if I do not pass the verbal teaching test portion?

With the passing of your Playing Ability Test, you must return to any PGTAA certification course and redo the entire course excluding the PAT. A $200 fee is applicable.

What if I do not pass the written rules test?

This may be redone on a person to person verbal basis with any PGTAA examiner. Fee is set at $100.00.

Do you have a Seniors Division?

Yes. This is for those members age 50 and over. Seniors make ideal teachers!

Are there ongoing fees to belong to the PGTAA?

There is an annual $100 fee for the issuance of current year membership cards. This is based on an annual anniversary date of graduation.
