PGA Level 1 Coaching Course

This course is the first step on the ladder for any golfer wishing to become a professional golfer and consists of a practical examination followed by a written test. All successful course members also have to undergo a Safeguarding Children evaluation

In Cumbria these courses have been organised by the County Development Officer, Jo Tinsley and already many county golfers, men and women, have benefited from the opportunity to get qualified. After a successful conclusion to the course someone with a Level 1 PGA qualification has to offer 15 hours of their time in helping to coach golfers in their own club under the supervision of a PGA Level 3 Professional.

Two of the Cumbria U18 County squad, Jordan Harrison (4th left in the picture) and Carl Johnstone (5th left) are shown here beginning their course at Eden Golf Club on March 6th under the tutelage of PGA Professional, Marcus Webb. I am awaiting the outcome of the course and will update this page when the results are known.
