 Since
leaving the business world and becoming a fully certified CGTF professional,
I have built up a full time golf-teaching career.
This includes various programs in the winter and my own golf schools
in the summer. The opportunity
to attend the annual WGTF event has expanded my horizons and introduced
to me friends from around the world.
I would like to thank
the CGTF for providing me an opportunity to teach golf and to complete
a lifelong ambition. I have
developed a successful business in Prince Edward County teaching golf
fundamentals to players of all levels.
I am presently instructing at two golf clubs, a driving range,
and my own teaching range located at home.
The existence of the CGTF and the USGTF designations has been instrumental
in my success.
~ Rudy Zicara, CGTF Teaching Professional
I became a certified
CGTF member when I opened my own indoor golf business
in 1995. I now teach on a
regular basis usually from January through August.
I use video with most of my students to enhance their understanding
of what they are actually doing, and to help them improve their swing.
I get referrals from students on a regular basis.
And I have taught many golf teachers who have complimented me on
my methods of teaching. This
past year I was almost too busy with the volume of lessons I have taught.
~ Dru Lafave, CGTF Teaching Professional
Becoming
a member of the CGTF has helped me to achieve my goal of working in the
golf industry. I work for
six months for the city of Mississagua as a golf instructor and am very
fortunate to be able to work the balance of the year teaching golf in
Florida. All this has been
achieved as a result of my certification with the CGTF.
~ Fred Featherstone, CGTF Teaching Professional
What a great way to
make a living! After having
lost my job at 55 due to downsizing, I decided to pursue a golfing career.
My certification with the CGTF has provided me with credibility
as a golf instructor. I love
the feeling of watching beginners improve their game due to my instruction.
~ Bill Rowland, CGTF Teaching Professional
The
course has been very helpful in teaching me how to teach the game I love.
~ Brent
Miller, CGTF Teaching Professional
Obtaining
my certification with the CGTF was the perfect opportunity for me to pursue
a golf-teaching career. It
provided me with, credibility as a teacher, it gave me the incentive to
start and develop my own teaching business.
And at the same time, it was the best thing I had done for myself
and for my family in a long time.
My only regret is that I had not seized this opportunity years
earlier. As a golf-teaching
professional, I am proud to be a member and to represent the Canadian
Golf Teachers Federation.
~ Dave Reid, CGTF Master Teaching Professional
