Barry,
I thought you would be happy to hear that we won our first golf invitational
in three years... AND, that it is the fourth golf victory (ever) in our
school's history on Div. III. It is just the beginning, though. However, it
wouldn't be a beginning without the training I received from PGTAA.  Check
this photo out...

Barry: Thank you so much! Also, Thank you for making this one of the most thought provoking learning experiences of my 59 years on this planet. I truly must say it was not easy, which makes it that much more rewarding. The joy and pride I feel at this moment is amazing. Hope someday to thank you in person.....

Dr. Barry Lotz, 
 
First off I want to thank the PGTAA for opening so many doors for me at such a young age of 21. Becoming a Master Teaching Professional has allowed me to teach golf and learn the tricks of the trade full time now.
 
Golf has always been a strong passion of mine and lets be honest teaching golf is one of the world's best jobs. I have recently accepted a position as Teaching Professional at the Bridges of Tillsonburg in Ontario, Canada, where I am planning to open a golf academy for the 2009 season. I am honored to see the expanded growth of the PGTAA,especially in Canada,  as I am a loyal member. Best of Luck to all PGTAA members! 
 
Cheers,
 
Tim Ament

Dr. Barry,

First thank you for the PGTAA and all of the help that you have given to me personally. I credit a lot of hard work, my PGTAA training, two courses in Kinesiology, and some physiology training for the round of a life time. I carded a 29 on the front nine and 30 on the back for a total of 59. I played with two wonderful gentlemen that I met that day.
My bag proudly displays the PGTAA logo and my name leaving no doubt that I am a professional golf instructor. After the newspaper ran a story about a 65 year old pro breaking the 60 barrier my schedule is booked until late March. The range that I teach at has heated areas for the winters here in Ohio. It is the first time I have ever taught in the winter here, ever.
So, thank you again for the training, the organization, and maintaining a high degree of professionalism.
I am including a signed score card for you to look over.

Please feel to use the following information for any/all PGTAA promotional publications you may so desire.

Thanks to the excellent training program offered by the Professional Golf Teachers Association of America (PGTAA), my golf career continues to experience growth. Not long after completing my PGTAA program I developed a youth golf program at a State of Georgia Golf Course located in Reidsville, Georgia. My program was an instant success with youths of all ages joining the program. Within seven short months I had three star students competing on High School Golf Teams holding the #1 seat boys, # 2 seat girls and # 3 seat boys. I trained my students using the golf teaching knowledge I gained under the PGTAA program.

Very satisfied with what I had accomplished I began working on my own game to venture into tournament play. Soon after beginning a rigid training program I placed upon myself I became a Bridgestone Pro Member. Excited with career improvements I set my goals even higher. I applied all my efforts to building an outstanding reputation in Youth Golf Training. Again, falling back on my PGTAA materials studied during my certification process. Each time I would revisit this material I found additional information to improve my teaching methods.

Today, I am very proud to say thanks to the PGTAA and their golf program I am now the Head Golf Professional/General Manager of Hawk's Point Golf Club, Inc. located in Vidalia, Georgia. I gave consideration to many golf programs and selected the PGTAA. I remain a member and proudly display PGTAA on my tournament golf shirts. Should you be considering a golf career as an instructor or desire to even venture further as I did, I strongly recommend the PGTAA to all reading.

I fully endorse the PGTAA and extend my sincere thanks to the many accomplishments I have achieved due to my association with the PGTAA

Good Golfing!

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, our certification designations, mimic our unique programs, especially our Home Study module, and in some cases, leverage even our name, as their own. The name "Professional Golf Teachers Association of the United States",  formerly operated by National Golf Schools has ceased to exist after  a settlement was reached between the parties. The Professional Golf Teachers Association of America is and always will be the foremost 100% professional golf teaching certification institute in the world.

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
