PGA launches 2020 Vision initiative

Today sees the culmination of almost two years of consultation and planning as The PGA proudly launches our expanded membership categories as part the Association’s overall 2020 Vision initiative.

There are now three categories of membership as we expand the traditional PGA Professional role into three - PGA Professional, PGA Coach and PGA Manager. The introduction of the new categories and all their associated development and learning will ensure that our Members are seen to be relevant and importantly, constantly able to develop their skills and keep pace with the demands of their roles.

Choose your specialism...

Those Members who wish to remain as PGA Professionals will not need to do anything. Those of you who want to be identified as PGA Coaches or PGA Managers can change their specialism by clicking on the link below.

A new CPD offering...

A new online Members' Forum...

Use the PGA Forum to start discussing key topics with your fellow industry professionals. Whether you've got a question or want to share an insight with other PGA Members, the forum has various topics of discussion to inspire you.

Looking ahead, careers and recruitment will also be an important pillar within the membership offer, supporting you in demonstrating relevant skills in the search for employment and better career opportunities in all sectors of the industry.

Today we are also launching the Business Management Group and the Club Volunteer by PGA groups for all those who work and volunteer in the golf industry. These will be of interest to your volunteer members and other industry colleagues.

They will not be ‘Members’ of the Association or entitled to use the brand in the same way that full PGA Members can, but we hope that by having a relationship with us and directly with you at club level, they will develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the importance of the PGA Professional role and the value you bring to a business whilst enhancing their own skills.

Further information is available in the Members' area of the PGA website. If you have any questions please email membership@pga.org.uk.
