That’s awesome! Congratulations! I’m currently studying the modules. Right now I’m finishing up my last couple of months before retirement from the Army after 20+ years. Once I return stateside, I plan to take the exam.

Congratulations to you Carlo. PAT not a easy thing to do. I think that if you look at each sections newsletters, they will have job openings posted in them. The sections can be accessed thru pga.com.

Best of luck going forward.

When you look at jobs, make sure you ask if they will pay or contribute towards your PGM program. It gets pretty expensive, especially when you compare what clubs are willing to pay an entry level apprentice. You also really want to find a Class A professional that really, really wants to help an apprentice. Some clubs just expect that you will figure it out on your own and others will work with you to get throught the program.

I'm not sure that I would go through the program if I had to today. When I did it is was still a bit expensive but nowhere near what it is today.

Thanks Geoffrey. But my ultimate dream is still to play in the PGA Tour... don't we all. Hardwork and dedication I have... its the natural ability and luck I'm missing. Hahaha

Thanks Sean for all the info. One quick thing though, you said everyone is now accepted into it? At UNL you have to have a 12 handicap in order to get it. I was just surprised at that, but I guess then everyone can enjoy the game we love!

Best of luck to you in the future!

Hi Cristian;

Are you gonna be playing competitive golf in college? That will eventually help you when you take the PAT, make your game sharper. Dedication to your game will be very important for the PAT.

As for the Qualifying Test, overall it was fine. As long as you study the 3 courses very well you'll be alright. The test was 90mins, i took it in about 60mins taking my time. Still had time to review my answers. About your last question on PGM Program I went to... I am taking the PGA PGM Apprentice Program not the University one. Hope it helps. Hit me up as well if you have more questions, I'll try to answer them based on what I am going and will be experiencing.

Thanks again.

Carlo

Hey Christian,

It's very informative. You learn A LOT about the golf industry. It prepares you well. It's not hard, material wise, but the work experience workbook is very time consuming and tedious. There are 3 trips to Florida for seminars, pricey, but fun. There is a 36 acre practice facility across the parking lot from the hotel and it's free all week. Great place to practice. Bring your clubs!!! You have 2 years for each level, there are 3 levels, and 8 years to gain PGA membership. I have worked very hard and should be done by summers end. I will be finished within 3 years of registering. I am in PGA PGM 2.0. Everyone that enters now is in that program. From what I hear, the new program is far less intense than the old one. Good luck and hope this helps. Anything else, please let me know. I'm hear for anyone in the program or thinking about it. I can answer just about anything pertaining to the program.

FORE!!!

I'm going to do this in two years after I go to a Community College to golf. I have some questions for you. What was it like? How hard was it? How long did it take? etc. Best of luck! BTW, what PGM program did you go to?

Hey Carlo, congrats! I am currently in level 3, attending my final seminars in March. You will be able to log in at pgalinks.com and look for jobs throughout the US. Good luck and if you need anything or have any questions, hit me up. I've worked hard at it, should be done withig 3 years of registering. Stay committed, be disciplined!
