Dear Barry,

I was very impressed with the wealth of the information provided. I found the test to be inclusive and demanding, requiring me to combine knowledge of the material provided with my personal experience as a golfer and extensive research of online resources. All this preparation has provided me the sound foundation necessary to take a position as a teaching professional within the golf industry. The confidence that successful completion of this course has imparted to me will translate to increased enthusiasm for me and superior instruction for my students.

Thank you also for your personal attention to all my concerns.

Gratefully and sincerely,

Jack Richter

Dear Dr. Lotz,

I am 64 years old and have been playing golf since I was 10. Over the years I have read hundreds of instruction articles in golf publications as well as numerous books from authors such as Bob Toski, Ben Hogan, Harvey Pennick and others. I have taken lessons from numerous teachers and have gleaned helpful information from all these sources. As a teacher I wanted to enhance my knowledge as well as achieve credibility with my students.

While there are several avenues to achieve this goal I chose the PGTAA to take my knowledge to the next level. I have been delighted with the information I gained from this course and the credibility I have enjoyed with my students. It has been a valuable investment and I recommend the PGTAA to anyone who is serious about becoming a better golf teacher.

“Dear Dr Lotz:  I would like to thank you and commend you on your course.
From the day I ordered it, the delivery time was three days to my door. When
I called with a question you were there to answer every time. The way the
course makes you think about how to talk to a student is right on, they are
the reason we take it. This is a course I have already recommended to my
friends in the industry and will continue to recommend. I have recently
started a job in the industry and this course did help me get the job. Thank
you very much.”

Respectfully

Dr. Lotz,

I hope this note finds you well. My first seven years as a PGTAA Master Teaching Professional have been truly outstanding. Since my certification, I have had many highlights as an instructor including:

– National Director of Golf for the TourneySport USA Hawaii Junior Classic for six years (2001-2007) at Kapalua Resort, Turtle Bay, Ko’Olau and Poipu Bay annually running instruction & championships for some of America’s top junior golfers.

– Co-chairman of the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League’s Golf Committee (America’s largest high school athletic league), organizing quality events including having the great Arnold Palmer host our 2007 championship in person at his Latrobe Country Club in recognition of the 60th anniversary of his last Western PA. Golf Championship. We also had the greatest female amateur player of all-time, Carol Semple-Thompson, host our girls event that year at her home course of Allegheny Country Club.

– Head Coach of one of Pennsylvania’s most successful high school programs ( www.peterstownshipgolf.org ) with over 15 college golfers produced in the past eight years (seven NCAA Division I players since 2005) and winning WPIAL Team Titles in 2004 and 2008 and making it to the championship finals an amazing 6 of the last 7 years (there are 130 boys golf teams in our region).

– Running my own instruction business and golf schools with a staff of four instructors ( www.davidkuhngolf.com) touching 200-300 kids in our area annually..

None of this would be possible without the education and certification that I have received from the PGTAA. I would like to personally thank you for the opportunity that the PGTAA has provided for me.

Additionally, please do not hesitate to consider me for teaching or helping with PGTAA certification classes as I would be very interested in working in that part of the profession as well.

I look forward to hearing from you soon and hope to continue to be an exemplary representative of the PGTAA for some time to come.

Warmest Regards,

David Kuhn

Effective March 1, I will become the Director of Instruction at the “NEW” Spring Hill Golf & Country Club. Under the ownership of US Golf Properties and President, Roger Thompson, I’ll be ordering all of the brands of equipment you’d expect for the Pro Shop and of course, teach, provide custom fittings and make any club adjustments, repairs and re-grips on site. I could not have done this without my PGTAA Master Teaching Professional certification.

Thanks for always being available and helpful with all my questions. – Steve LaFalce

Dr. Barry Lotz,
I just wanted to say hello and send you an email. I owe a lot of credit to your program.

In May, 2009, I completed the PGTAA Home Study Course. I was living in Wellington, Fl at the time with my mother. I wanted to instantly pursue a teaching career, and that’s exactly what I did. I built a website and a name, “Scratch Golf School.” I would have to say having a PGTAA certification helped my business dramatically.

I moved back to Massachusetts in early June, 2009 and I decided to look for opportunities around Boston. I applied to a large number positions such as assistant professionals at private and public courses. I also applied for work at driving ranges, camps, and other summer programs. Finally, I was contacted by a Nike Golf Camp and they were looking for a Head Golf Instructor. The PGTAA certification gave me the recognition I needed. I was soon hired and was in charge of the whole golf program.

The camp was spectacular. I truly enjoyed working with kids. I kept searching around the internet for other opportunities and then I applied for the Head Golf Coach position at Newbury College. Within a couple hours I recieved a phone call from the Athletic Director asking me questions about my PGTAA certification and experiece as the Head Golf Instructor at the Nike Golf Camp. I was hired within a couple days. To this day, I’m the head golf coach at Newbury College in Brookline, MA

I continued my search since the coaching job was mostly part time. I knew about an indoor golf teaching center right by my home in Stow, MA called the GolfRite Learning Center. I walked in to talk to the owner and he asked me a lot of questions about my experience as a player and teacher. I told him mostly about my recent history as a golf instructor. I think he noticed that I was ambitous enough to become successful so he asked me to join his team. So, not only do I continue to coach at Newbury, but I’m also one of the Teaching Pros at GolfRite.

I’m very excited about my future as a golf teacher, and I just wanted to thank you for your program. It has opened a lot of doors for me and given me the type of recognition to become successful.

Thank you very much!

Adam

Dear Dr. Barry Lotz,

Thank you for granting me the honor of being a PGTAA teaching professional.
I have studied the golf teaching principals, golf terminology, DVDs and outstanding PGTAA materials and gained more knowledge about golf to the point it is surprising.
I am very much aware and appreciative that the PGTAA helps create excellent golf teachers using outstanding golf teaching techniques and participates in ways that brings the art of teaching golf forward so well.

Thank You.

Sincerely,

Allen Youn (Jong Won Youn)
