The USGTF would like to welcome six new members to the ranks of Master Golf Teaching Professionals®!  Mike Krmpotic (Las Vegas, Nevada), James Fish (Santa Rosa, California), Ken Hill (Las Vegas), Paul-Allen Schooler (Raleigh, North Carolina), Keith Allyson (Temple City, California) and Alexander Gong (Gardena, California) are the latest to earn this designation at the certification class held in Las Vegas under the expert eye of longtime USGTF examiner Bill Rice. Candidates had to present a written thesis, perform a shotmaking demonstration and pass an advanced written teaching test. The Master-level class has a theme of “a sharing of ideas,” and is a great learning experience for everyone – including the examiners!
Onsite Certified Golf Teaching Professional certification classes are scheduled for the week of September 7-11 in Las Vegas and in Princeton, New Jersey. Several participants have already enrolled. As golf has seen an upswing in 2020 with more people seeking healthy outdoor activities, the time is ripe for those wishing to enter the field. USGTF members are encouraged to identify worthy candidates for certification and recommend our organization, as qualified teaching professionals only make the USGTF stronger for everyone.
