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 the remaining two or four days respectively at 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.
