If you are considering a golf career but are still a little unsure of the wisdom of the decision, you might be putting too much stock in what you hear.  There are many myths about golf schools that circulate and sow skepticism among prospective students.  Here are a few of the most treacherous.

  1. Golf schools aren’t real schools.  Not true.  Most reputable golf colleges are accredited, just like any other college.
  2. A golf career isn’t a realistic goal.  Again, not true at all!  Golf is so popular that the industry is constantly growing — and that means the demand for knowledgeable workers to fill these jobs are also always increasing.  In other words, there are plenty of opportunities — and at a variety of different kinds of jobs — for those aspiring to such a career!
  3. Pro golf careers are the only opportunity for graduates of a golf college.  There are many different job opportunities for golf school graduates — pro golfers are really only the tip of the iceberg.  For instance, every golf facility requires tons of staff to make everything run smoothly: landscapers and maintenance crews, golf instructors, managers, and staff to work at the main building.  There is also a myriad of other golf jobs available, such as caddies, trick shot artists, golf writers, advertisers, and photographers.

As you can see, there are lots of opportunities and benefits that come with a golf education.  I hope debunking some of these well-known myths will help you make your decision!
