Spirit of Golf Foundation ® Certification

 

There are four levels of certification: Level I, II, III and Master. Taking into consideration the great experience that many coaches, teachers, or youth counselors have had, and the fact that many coaches are thrust into "active coaching roles" with very little experience, SGF has devised a matrix that will ascertain a level of expertise held by each member. The following table indicates the elements of the "Experience vs. Study" program.

All SGF Scholastic Coach and Golf Educator members can achieve various levels of certification by participating in the "Experience vs. Study" Program.
