    Level 1 on the way!

    Hello everyone,
    I just mailed payment for my PGA Level 1 kit! I can't wait to dig in and get my apprenticeship under way. I made a career change about a year ago and I haven't been in school for 17 years. So, I'll be looking to some of you for guidance along the way. Let me tell you, it is such a great feeling going to work when it's something you're really passionate about. This truly is the best game!
    Thanks for letting me vent some of my anxious energy!

        All information is on PGALinks . The first step is to pass the Playing Ability Test. Basically, shoot two rounds in the 72-75 range. It's an actual tournament, with both rounds played the same day 99% of the time. That, along with some work history in the golf industry, allows you to register as an apprentice. It is a self study curriculum that covers all the basics, from the obvious to the business and marketing. Level 1 cost is about $1,000. Levels 2 & 3 are around $2,000 each. Level 2 & 3 costs include airfare and accommodations for week long testing and seminars at the PGA headquarters in Florida. It takes anywhere from 2-5 years to complete. That's what it takes on this side of the pond. I would imagine it's similar in the UK.

          Good to hear you passed the PAT......That's a very hard part of it from what I understand, a couple of buddies of mine have taken it a few times and missed it, so they gave up on the golf management program....Good players too -shame they couldn't do it under pressure..

          Good luck with that ...Keep posted
