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, 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, the PGTAA's philosophy and target market is that individual who desires to be a teaching professional in the field and not just an enthusiast.

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