Can you give some stats on what a golfer should have before trying the PAT? Driving distance? What are the course distances off the tee? I'm intimated because I'm not a very long hitter. Thanks

Does level 2 start right after your vertual level1 seminar and L1 portfolio completed?

Hope you still reply to these years later! How much emphasis was put on the pre seminar activities we do in the level 1 modules?

Not sure if you'll see this in time, but I start my Virtual Seminars for Lvl 1 tomorrow! I have a good amount of the pre-seminar work finished, but in the PDF's of the book, I've recently noticed there are "hidden" or non downloadable pre-seminar activities. Do I need to scrub the entire Lvl 1 book tonight and cram out these activities? I think I'm just overall stressed about this experience, but I don't want to look unprepared when I go into it. Will I receive a "completion grade" or a grade of any kinda during these seminars? Any info would be appreciated!

what length does the PAT play from?

Ron, thanks for the vids! Is there a test after level 1? Is there group work?

Hi! Happy 2024! You haven't posted any videos in awhile. How are you? Any updates?

This is a great video, and I am looking forward to watching the rest of your series. I started my journey right out of high school 1992. I had one chance for my PAT test and missed it by 2 shots. No more money, new baby, newly married = putting my dream on hold. Forward to 2024, kids are all grown, have a 4-year-old grandson, been in a career for 28 years, now to transition into a retirement career for me! I just turned 50 and I am picking up where I left off...Dreams are forever!

This is great info. wow, thanks a lot!

Don't know if your still reading these but I'm preparing for my PAT now do I need to find a job within the golf industry for my letter now or after hopefully passing the PAT

I’m curious if they have changed the yearly requirements. I just got into the PGM and currently in Level 1. I can’t seem to find anywhere, including my dashboard, that mentions anything about the yearly requirements you mentioned. Where did you find the information for that?

I just bought the C-130S and I love it-wow, what a great bag! Thanks for the video.

How are you making out?

Late to the conversation.... Were there any breakout sessions with virtual groups/rooms? Was there anything to be turned in at the end? Such as the Seminar worksheets? The worksheets look like the exact same as the pre-seminar activity. What was the participation like? Did they call on specific people to give answers?

I just passed my PAT 2 weeks ago. Im not working in the industry so I have to go the affiliate route. I didnt see you mention the background check which you have to pay for. So now Im waiting for payday to start that.

Hey Ron, I’m looking to start the PGA PGM journey myself and I’ve been very invested in your series recently. I was wondering if you have any updates on your PAT? Have you passed your PAT or is there a pending date scheduled for your test in the near future? I’d love to hear about it

Pass your pat first I passed mine cried from Tampa to Fort Lauderdale from the stress of 2 months of coaching playing 36 a day 4 days a week an hour of practice watching video after video driving my fiancé Nuts’s now I have to take my q test

Thanks for the videos I passed my pat first try did the background check and now I just need to study for the qualifying test what am I considered as far as the golf business goes until I pass the a test?

just started my qualifying course! thank you for all the videos!

More playing vlogs please! This was great! 😄

How do you think these compare to the P790?

Sounds easy enough to get it done in a timely manner.

This series is very helpful

How much more forgiving is the ZX4 than the ZX5.? I prefer the looks of the ZX5 but don’t want to sacrifice too much forgiveness. Thanks in advance!

I really like the black diamond balls

I own a newer version of this bag. Perfect for riding carts. Not good for push carts because the bag is too tall for the wedges if you load your clubs correctly - that is longer graphite shafts on top and wedges on the bottom.

Hey man, I’m 24 years old and pursuing my career in the golf industry. Your PGA series has actually really helped me, would love to hear about what’s going on there. I live down in Oregon and im headed up to Washington to play golf soon, I’ll be sure to stop by!

How do you get on staff with a company

Thank you for these videos! Hope you're moving right along in your process!

Goodluck on your pga book work. I also on level 1 trying to get to level 2 this year

Glad to hear you had a great time Ron! I’m actually spending a week at Pinehurst in March with the golf academy there - can’t wait! Thanks for the useful tips on your experience 👍🏼

Congrats on your hard work and results!

He’s back!!! I finished my seminar!

What stage are you at in the PGA Program?

Can I take the qualifying test before PAT?

I had a 65 question test. 3 questions were on rules. 1 was on “history” (by that I mean the one question was who does the USA play in the Ryder Cup) the remaining 61 questions were on the constitution. Needless to say I didn’t pass. We’re you given an actual study guide on all of the committees and who runs them or were you just as in the dark as me. I feel like the “qualifying” should be knowing history and goals along with rules. Memorizing the whole constitution seems like a very unreasonable thing. Even if I got 60% of the questions right I still would have failed because I had only 4 questions regarding anything beside the constitution

Just passed Qualifying Test and Started Level 1. How long does it take Member Services To upload a picture to your profile ? Thanks for the Videos they been a big help .

how did you do it can you share with me , thank you

Hi! I am taking my L1 virtual seminar at the end of the month. What did the schedule look like for hours, if you recall? Just for the purpose of planning with my employer.

Been watching you videos lately. What drove you to get into the golf industry?? I was an Assistant pro about 18 years ago. Now im just starting to re apply and restart a career in the industry as well!

I need help with mine

Looking at Sub 70 irons/wedges currently. Great video! Was Rep in the industry when I was mid 20s to early 30s. Came to KC for Callaway. Also had my own brand for a couple of years after that, but sold it. So I have experience with the biggest brands as well as component and DTC sales model. Worked with designer and production house in China. So pretty familiar with all facets. As a side note, haven’t played in about 15 years, so in process of building a new set and playing again - now that my kids are older and I’m “senior” eligible as an amateur. Anyway, now more than ever - I’d say the advantage a tour brand has is almost purely marketing. Patents rarely exist in clubs any longer - so far as I can tell. There are so many experienced designers, not to mention the foundries - and the limitations set by the ruling bodies - it’s pretty tough to do anything THAT spectacular and not have it be something smaller brands can do. So tour played brands = more available at retailers, and the psychological “comfort” that comes from playing a recognized brand. Beyond that, they are just more expensive. But to each their own… I’ve learned over the years that everyone has their own way of thinking about it, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

The pre seminar activities..are these something discussed heavily or does it just help prepare you?

Just turned in my portfolio! Pretty stoked about this process. Passion and drive is still there as I knew this was going to be my career. Love your videos, i'm excited to see how your journey ends up. I wish you best of luck for the test. I hear it can be difficult so keep studying. Keep up the good work brotha!

Hi Ron. I played collegiate golf and am looking to do something with golf "for fun." I'm thinking teaching just putting ie, Putting Coach. I don't want to go through the process you are going through (time and money). My brother is a PGA Pro and he said it's a lot of tedious work and travel. Do you have any recommendation so that I can become "certified"??? Thanks!

Thanks for making these videos! Quick question on the very beginning of my journey… PGA website has the qualifying test as the first step but you have the PAT as your first step. Would you recommend buying the courses first and taking the PAT before scheduling the Q test?

this is a fulfilling business to work in and i will never be stuck in an office for the whole day. I can live anywhere- aka not a city, you make the same money as a gas station attendant but you dont tell girls you work at a gas station :)

Love this! Thank you. Have loved this game for a long time but deciding to start moving in this direction later in life has been a challenge.

Great information! Thx

They are DT-4 is low carbon low sulfur and low phosphorus steel and is a touch or two softer than 1020 carbon steel. Yes.
