What does it take to become a golf teaching pro at a country club?

Answer 1

You can apply to be an assistant pro at some golf course and work there for 6 months. These jobs usually require some sort of golf background and only pay $8-$13 per hour. Then you can take the Playing Ability Test and shot about 156 for 36 holes in one day or take the test 2 times and score at least 82 every 2 years. Then you complete course work through independent study and seminar weeks. During this time you earn promotions and become known in the local golfing community and apply for better positions as they become open. The course you work for usually pays all of your fees to the PGA. If you work hard and people like you, you can be a head pro in 4-6 years.

Another option is to enter a golf school, kind of like a junior college for golf industry careers. They take 1-2 years and cost $20000. They are located in Southern California, Myrtle Beach, and Florida. Then go to step one above.

Or you can enter a PGM program at one of about 20 universities.

Answer 3

Most Country Clubs require one to be a member in good standing with the PGA.
Qualifying as a PGA professional is done via two routes. The first, and most popular, is by becoming a registered assistant at a PGA recognised golf facility where trainees complete a three year Foundation Degree in Professional Golf Studies. The degree involves working through study guides, assignments, exams and attaining coaching awards. Among the subjects studied are golf coaching, sports science, equipment technology, business management, marketing, golf rules and tournament administration.

The second route into the PGA is via a BA Degree in Applied Golf Management Studies . There are a number of colleges that have these courses. I believe the first one was developed at the the University of Birmingham in the UK

They were not banned because of behavior, they were banned because the members looked down on them as second class citizens, not good enough to be around the members socially. This attitude was imported to America from the brits, where the gentry or aristocracy would never dream of fraternizing with the hired help. Walter Hagen changed this almost single handedly, and any biography on him will contain plenty of material about this. I know Inverness in Toledo has a grandfather clock in the clubhouse that was presented to the club from the players in 1920 when the players were allowed entry to the clubhouse for the first time.
