Read our latest testimonial Winston Sill/Freelance Young Jessie Shea poses with his trophy and coach Jason Lopez after winning the Drive, Chip and Putt Congratulations to Jason Lopez, PGTAA Teaching Professional If you are a follower of sports in Jamaica then the name Jason Lopez might ring a bell. He has been one of Jamaica's premier golfers for the past 12 years and recently realized his life-long dream of implementing a golf school in Jamaica. The school which was officially opened in October of last year was built at a cost of $5-million and is housed on the premises of the Constant Spring Golf Club in St. Andrew. The state of the art facility provides private instruction and public practice training to children and adults from the beginners' level to the professional.

Next to the PGA, our certification and credentialization, are the most highly sought after teaching designation in the golf industry.

In recognition of the industry's growth, and in response to the demand for qualified teaching professionals, the PGTAA was established to provide extensive training to individuals as well as recognized golf teachers with years of experience behind them.

Not only will we teach you how to teach correctly, but also how to psychologically and philosophically motivate your students to become better golfers.


Becoming a PGTAA professional is probably one of the most important steps you will take during your professional golfing career. Becoming associated and certified by the PGTAA not only enhances your credibility but also enhances your teaching skills for the benefit of your future students and, naturally, your earning capacity.

PGTAA graduates have access to positions as golf teaching professionals including head professionals at both private and public country clubs, golf schools, driving ranges, golf learning centers, indoor facilities, high school and college coaches. Cust om club makers have added golf teaching as a new dimension to their businesses. Members also hold positions as managers of both public and private golf facilities.

For club fitting professionals, enhancing your professionalism with the addition of our PGTAA Master Teaching Professional certification, is and will be a major catalyst in increasing revenue in your existing business or shops.

And don't just take our word for it. See what some of our recent graduates have to say.

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, especially our Home Study module, 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 (to cover their extensive advertising and marketing costs), whether qualified or not, the PGTAA's philosophy and target market is that individual/golfer who desires to be a teaching professional in the field and not just an enthusiast.

We do not offer various levels of certifications designed to separate you from your money and whose “membership/certification/levels of instructor” cards are useless and of zero value in the golf industry.

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