Oh I just say that jokingly. I've been in Level 1 for five years now. I think this may be the year I actually get this done, maybe.

I've considered creating a forum for people going through the PGM program, but I'm fairly certain there wouldn't really be much interest. If you have a different opinion, maybe we could build something.

Well done.  What are the perks of becoming an Apprentice in the PGA program?  What is the next step after that?

Turns out the side of me that said "don't worry" was right. I passed with 97% accuracy, missing only two questions.


DORK!

I'm confused, are you a PGM student at a college? I am interested only because I am hoping on doing the PGM program at Arizona State. I'm trying to weigh options of finishing a business degree in Wisconsin and doing PGA work on my own or going to school for it. I've already attended a 2 year community college for a associates, and when I visited ASU I found out the program for even a transfer student was 3.5 years with all the internships and such. Any info would be greatly appreciated, I'm really stuck in between my options.

Please do, or let me know how the program is doing for you, I know your original post is older, I would really love to hear what it entails as I am severely interested in the program and what others have to say. : )

How are you liking it? I'm trying to decide if I should do it on my own or go off to school especially for the PGM program. How is the second level going or have you already completed it.

Help!! I have written the pre- qualifing test to register as an apprentice and failed by 3 questions. The test I took was 70 questions and not 75.Futher, the questions was nothing like the study material`s questions. It really felt like I am writing the wrong test! After the test I went back to review some of the questions and can`t find anything on it anywhere!! I am not making any excuses for failing, but really need some advice to pass this test. I have to retake the test after a week, but don`t see me pass it, even if I study every day with the material I got from pga links website. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

I am a PGM graduate and a current PGA Class A member and I can tell you that the PGM program is great because it gives you the Degree to fall back on. Ultimately, it is up to you. If you want to dedicate a few years or get started right now. Good luck either way. Congrats to Erik. Keep it up.

Happy Gilmore was a Hack!

      Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff.

      Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.

      First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
