A PGA Coach is designed to bring the American Development Model (AMD) to the game of golf. Every athlete is different, and therefore, every Coach should have the right skillset to teach the game and help every student become a life-long golfer.

Attaining Certification from U.S. Kids Golf, the leading brand in youth golf, means that a coach has participated in day-long training and passed two tests in gaining this distinction. The training is recognized by both the PGA and LPGA whose members receive continuing education credits for participating.

delivering programs that focus on the individual at each

stage of development.
