At first many people find the idea of a professional golf school laughable. Golf is a sport, not a subject for study. They are wrong. More and more programs and schools are offering degrees in golf management and offering students the ability to prepare for the multitude of professional jobs that exist in the ever-growing golf industry.
Students who attend a golf degree program will be expected to continue to develop their golf game. While some will use these skills to become pro golfers or to become instructors and coaches, most will just relish a deeper understanding of the skill involved in the game that will help them as they step into positions of management, hospitality, and marketing to golfers.
Think of how many private golf clubs exist in the US and in other countries. Add in the number of public golf courses and all the tournaments and tours that are played. Someone has to organize, manage, and run all these events. Companies make golf equipment, clothing, and supplies and they need marketing, sales, and finance people. Sports magazines , newspapers, and television networks need golf reporters and commentators. A stint in golf school can provide the background, credentials, and networking opportunities to land any and all of those jobs.
