Comments on: Is PACE On Pace To Pass? http://www.golfnewsnow.ca/2009/10/15/is-pace-on-pace-to-pass/ Canada's trusted source for immediate golf trade news Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:39:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Les Postnikoff http://www.golfnewsnow.ca/2009/10/15/is-pace-on-pace-to-pass/comment-page-1/#comment-1510 Les Postnikoff Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:01:05 +0000 http://www.golfnewsnow.ca/?p=5150#comment-1510 I remain frustrated with the CPGA. I am a golf course owner that manages 40+ staff and 50,000+ rounds of golf per year in a full service facility that includes 18 holes, full clubhouse and bar, fully stocked and busy proshop, driving range, tournament schedule, Mens League, Ladies League, Jr Program and VERY busy golf lesson program. But....because we dont have a Class A professional, prospective golf professionals receive zero credit for working here managing retail sales, coordinating tournaments, organizing golf leagues, working with Juniors, dealing with member issues, helping the grounds crew, orchestrating the Tee Sheet etc etc. Why is it that the CPGA does not recognize the credentials of real live golf course owners? As an aside, as I prepare for the upcoming PGA buying show, I am reminded that I am only allowed to attend and spend my money at the end of the week AFTER the CPGA is done.
