USGTF IN PROCESS OF UPDATING CURRICULUM

As time goes on in any educational field, information and best practices commonly evolve, and the golf teaching industry is no exception. Under the helm of main examiner Jerry Ellstrom, the USGTF is completing the process of updating and modernizing its teaching curriculum to better reflect the realities of the 21st century.

Prospective candidates now are engaged in more classroom theory and discussion than previously, gaining an intense education that will better prepare them for the lesson tee.  The American Golf Teaching Method, the main textbook for the curriculum, is also in the process of being re-written. These moves are designed to better position the USGTF going forward and to make the organization the first choice in golf teaching instruction and certification.
