As a CGTF Member, you must fulfill the obligations
of being an upstanding citizen and role model to your students, your community,
and to the golf teaching profession. In order to fulfill the CGTF's purpose,
the organization requires strict adherence to the following Code of Ethics.
Article 1 - Being a Member
shall be synonymous with the finest aspects of the game of golf; namely
to show integrity, honor and respect at all times to those who have placed
their trust in you and your professional ability. Professional integrity,
whether it be toward a fellow teaching professional or client, is beneficial
for all concern.
Article 2 - The public has
the right to expect the best, most up-to-date and uniform instruction
available; therefore, it is the duty of each member to continue to learn
any new techniques or modifications in order to pass them along to those
who take instructions.
Article 3 - Only members in
good standing maintain the right to identify themselves as current CGTF
members. Any representation to the contrary will result in permanent discontinuation
of membership and affiliation.
Article 4 - No member shall
sponsor or promote any equipment which has not been personally tested
and proved to be of high quality. Supporting commercial enterprises for
monetary gain only, rather than from a sense of conviction as well, shall
misrepresent the equipment to the public, thereby jeopardizing the integrity
of the game and the CGTF.
Article 5 - Members must meet
professional financial obligations promptly and conduct all business dealings
in a manner befitting the standards of the CGTF.
Article 6 - Members are often
in the public eye; therefore, it is essential to present true sportsman
like conduct and good behavior, so as not to cause embarrassment to any
professional, student or person in charge of operating a golf facility.
Article 7 - As golf is a game
enjoyed by many in their formative years, Members have a responsibility
to the youth of this country by setting an example of professionalism
for them to follow.
