I hope you will take advantage of some of the many ways that you can improve your skills and your team, many for FREE, this fall.
1. Learn from and be inspired by some of our “PNWPGA Legends” in the new PNWPGA Fore The Best podcast. In it, I’m blessed to interview some of our best and brightest and learn from them in areas of motivation, operations, coaching golfers and more. The first episode will premiere on Sept 16, 2021 so look for it in your inbox!
2. Join me and Molly Cooper, PGA, for the PNW PGA Fall Education panels, presented live at the Greater Tacoma Convention & Trade Center. Each is designed to give you the tools to improve your career as well as provide valuable networking opportunities. The cost is $35 per panel.

3. Take advantage of the upcoming PNWPGA “Stay Involved” education webinar series this fall and winter (and earn MSRs when you participate live). Tune in right from your golf shop, on your laptop or on the road!
4. Go back into the impressive archive of topics from the PNWPGA “Stay Involved” education webinar series. Did you miss a webinar? We’ve covered some excellent topics including: Dynamic Pricing, Social Media, Next level Coaching for Teachers, Better Practices for Retaining New Members, Rebuilding Your Group Business Model, and so much more. Email Marlena at the Section office for the link to the archive: mcannon@pgahq.com.
5. Get ADM certified and get your PGA.Coach profile. It only takes two hours to complete the training. Not only is ADM a great resource, but the PGA.Coach directory is a great way to get leads!
“The American Development Model (ADM) has changed the way I coach. Deepening my understanding of age appropriate learning has taking my coaching to the next level. My students are having more fun and I am seeing greater levels of retention since implementing ADM into my coaching.” – Patrick Oropallo, PGA
6. Don’t forget to complete the Compensation Profile at least once a year, and anytime after your compensation situation changes. It takes 20% of the time the old Compensation Survey took to complete!
