I went from prior T350 to T250 this time. Biggest performance improvement to me was in dispersion and ball flight. The 250 just went to much straighter. Could be the shaft as well MMT 85g vs SF80g. Distance is maybe a tick longer. Bag appeal is out of this world better.
No a PGA Designation doesn’t require you to give lessons. But many young guys just starting out will do for the extra income.
Thanks for clarifying a few things i was a bit off on.
Passing the PAT—Players Ability Test shows you have a better than most ability to play the game. Completing the whole curriculum takes at least 4 years and costs several thousand dollars.
As others have said there is no law that you have to be PGA to teach. Some management/ownerships will require it snd some won’t want to pay the higher salary that a PGA will demand.
Not sure if that answers your question or not.
No, not at a “semi private” you get things like advance booking window, shop credit and likely F&B and merchandise discounts. Semi Privates still operate on Tee Times—at least all the ones my company do.
A little late with the congratulations. But congratulations Richard and Ryan.
I’ve been here since those beginning days. This site has helped my club knowledge grow, provided me with an exceptional experience about 12 years ago and helped me establish several virtual and in person friends among many just fun times in the forum.
i look forward to the exciting future and Richard you know from our several conversations the last few years on where I stand.
Ok our swing speeds are miles apart. Like 30 mph apart. And I have a SF405 In R in my 9.0 GT2.
my miss is pretty much the same. My fiitter/coach calls is a gapper to RC. Je’s a former college BB player 😬 But it’s totally playable on all but the tightest holes or in case of a sharp dogleg left.
normal fligjt is straight to a 5 yard fade. Not sure that’s relative to you. But both AF and Titleist heads. It’s been the main driver in my bag for over a yesr now. That’s saying something!’
This is exactly what they did with my T250 at + 1/2”
I’ve experienced the same improvements in ball striking as well. As you said, it’s a game chsmger in them being able to dial in a fitting.
