President's Message of USGTF

The United States Golf Teachers Federation (USGTF) trains and certifies golf teaching professionals. Established in 1989, it is the largest national organization of certified golf teaching professionals in the World. The aim of USGTF is to train and certify well-qualified instructors to serve the public of golf in America. As the industry grows, there continues to be a need for qualified, golf teaching professionals. 

United States of America is home to many who use English as a second language. Recognizing this, in the year 2011, we instituted USGTF Foreign Language Courses to meet this growing need. USGTF participants can learn to teach golf and be certified in their own native language. Currently, we provide courses in Korean, Japanese, and Chinese languages, but in the future this number will increase depending on the targeted audience.

Brandon Lee is the president of USGTF Foreign Languages Courses and has done a wonderful job in this capacity. Over 250 people have been trained and certified since the institution of USGTF Foreign Language Courses, and their contributions to our organization have been extremely valuable.

I look forward to seeing the great success and future of USGTF-FLC.

Sincerely,

---
