Introduction
Program and Objectives
The Associate of Applied Science degree program in Professional Golf and Golf Complexes Management (PGGCM) is a set of coherent academic courses that provide the educational and practical foundation for individuals interested in the golf profession — who want to become competent golfers, professional golfers and/or managers of golf complexes and country clubs.
Lessons include playing time, short game skill development, video analysis, club fitting, and repair, regripping and reshafting. An integral part of student training is labs in which students give instruction to the general public and/or each other. A tournament is held each week for competitive experience. These tournaments are organized by the program’s students to provide practical tournament planning experience. Tournaments and open play are conducted at area golf courses. The instruction provided by the program’s golf professionals during classes gives students the opportunity to improve their game and to examine how golfers may view the game differently. This experience provides students with an understanding of how to teach golf to a wide range of golf students — a skill that is important to their future success as golf professionals.
