Level 3 & Stage 3 Orientation

In order to be able to coach clubgolf Stage 3 and Area Coaching, coaches
must be PGA Professionals qualified to Level 2 or higher. In addition they
must attend the Stage 3 Orientation course of two days duration and be
deemed suitable by the course tutors.

Each Orientation course will take place over two consecutive days at
Inverclyde National Sport Centre in January 2009. The course will cost
£100.00 for clubgolf Stage 3 participants, which will include accommodation,
meals and coaching manual. The PGA will offer 50 CPD points to each
coach taking part. Coaches nominated by Areas to undertake the Orientation
will be fully funded by the SGU.

Find out more in the Stage 3 Orientation Course Information Sheet.

You can apply using the Stage 3 Orientation Course Application Form.

Following the orientation of coaches there are a number of actions:

   • Coaches orientated at clubgolf Stage 3 can either run full programmes

      at their own golf clubs or utilise certain parts of the programme to best

      meet their own needs. The programme and resource is flexible.

   • Coaches orientated at Stage 3 Performance will have been identified by

      their SGU Area. They will be asked by their Areas to implement elements

      of the coaching programme into their Area Coaching. They can also run

      their own development/performance programme at their own golf facility.

If you are a qualified PGA Professional and would like more information or to

apply for the courses in January 2009, please contact your local clubgolf Regional Manager or Ron Wallace, Coach Education Manager Scotland on ron.wallace@pga.org.uk or 01764 661840.
