Q: Is it
necessary to attend the Level I or Level II course prior to attaining
full certification?
A: No, you
may elect to bypass the Level I & Level II course and attend the six day
Level III full certification.
Q: If I
elect to take the Level I course and am successful, how do I proceed to
Level II associate or Level III full certification?
A: You may
simply attend any
certification course across the country. Verbal teaching, written rules
and for full certification, the playing ability test requirements must
be successfully achieved.
Q: What if
I do not pass the playing ability portion of the course? Can I still
gain certification?
A1: Provided you have
passed the written and teaching aspects of the course and you are within
four strokes of the target score, you may, within a 12-month period,
submit four attested score cards with the appropriate target score on
any championship course (6,000+ yards). These cards must be attested by
the three individuals you play with, plus signed by the local
professional. (4 signatures). The fee for this is $35. Prior to
submitting the appropriate scores, your membership status is that of a
Level II Associate Member.
A2: If
your playing ability test score is more than four strokes over the
target score, then you must return to any certification site and redo
the two-day playing ability test. The fee for this is $300, which
includes green and cart fees both days and also the closing banquet
dinner. Until you redo the playing ability test your status is that of
a Level II Associate Member.
