The deadline for bookings is Monday, October 17, and spaces are filling up fast with some seminars already fully booked.
Seminars delivered by industry leaders such as world-renowned coach Scott Cranfield still have places available. Scott will be discussing junior coaching and how PGA Professionals cane help them develop into golfers for life and long-term customers.
In one of the recent pre-Golf Show webinars, Cranfield discussed his upcoming seminar, saying: “I’m a great believer that there are many similarities between playing golf and what we go through in life. My seminar will focus on how a PGA Professional can not only help juniors learn golf, but also valuable life skills too.”
Other seminar leaders include Niall Flanagan, who ran a number of first-class clubs and resorts such as Loch Lomond, St Andrews Links Trust, Dubai Golf & Racing Club, Celtic Manor and Wentworth.
Niall will be giving delegates an in depth look at the day-to-day running of Loch Lomond and provide them with the knowledge on how to enhance the operation of their business by understanding their brand, motivating their staff and reducing debt or increasing profit using the systems that helped him turn around the fortunes of one of the most famous golfing venues in the world.
David Colclough, PGA Head of Member Education, said: “There are some cracking seminars at this year’s show from highly regarded figures in the golf industry – including retail expert Ian James, who has a must see seminar where he will share information that will help PGA Professionals enhance their relationships with both their golf club and customers.
“Time is running out for delegates to guarantee their places on these seminars with the deadline of Monday, October 17 rapidly approaching. I encourage all delegates to take a look at the seminar list and take the opportunity to book at least one of these highly beneficial sessions.”
