Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why do you offer a 3-day course?

A. It is no secret that most college and training associations would prefer their students attend their particular golf management program for as long as possible. The obvious reason of course is that more revenue is generated. Now if you combine outrageously expensive annual dues, reality soon sets in. Far too many young individuals with high aspirations unfortunately drop out of these outmoded programs after spending years of their time and money on confusing and frustrating education.

The United States Golf Managers Association has been working hard to change and restructure these monopolistic programs of the past. Similar to teaching the game, we realize that to become a club pro or club manager a solid instruction program along with continuing education through informative publications and educational DVDs can certainly provide more than adequate training in these fields. It is our philosophy that you can either spend years and years studying about management…….or you can manage!

Q. Do I have to be an expert golfer in order to attend the US Golf Managers Association three-day seminar?

A: The ability to play golf well is certainly beneficial as a golf course manager however; there are hundreds of successful club managers that do not play golf regularly.

Q. During the three-day seminar, are there any tests involved?

A. No, there are no tests involved. We feel that individuals are more receptive to learning if they are not worried about passing or failing tests.

Q. Is the United States Golf Managers three-day seminar recognized in various countries throughout the world?

A. Yes, we have members from over 40 nations who are currently employed in the golf management industry.
