1084.0. "GOLF ACADEMY OF THE SOUTH" by CSS::FISK () Tue Sep 25 1990 19:21

My son is interested in attending the GOLF ACADEMY OF THE SOUTH in 
(Orlando) Winter Spring Florida.  This is a two year business school that 
teaches it's students Golf and Business Management.  

The graduate is supposed to be a trained club Pro (obviously needing some 
experience go go along with the school training).

Have any of you heard of this school and do you know of it's reputation?

Regards,

Owen

    there was a question in the boston globe similar to yours
    in the past month.  it was on a monday when they have recreation
    pages in the sports page.  i say you call the globe sports
    department and ask for the golf editor (i think his name
    is paul haney or paul harney).
    
    he seemed to know a lot about it in the article.

1084.2Is this a real job?ODIXIE::SIVRETThu Sep 27 1990 18:589
    
    Golf Academy of the South is located at 307 Daneswood Way, Casselberry
    Fl. (407)699-1990.  Its located at Deer Run CC but its students play at
    2 other courses as well.  I've had the chance to play with some of the
    students at my home course, and most go on the be golf pros.  In fact
    both assistant pros at my course are alumni of the Academy.  
    
    Hope this helps.

    Penn State also offers a degreed program in "becoming a golf pro" They
    learn things like Club Management, Merchandising, Agronimy (sp)
    
    In todays market you need a certain amount of schooling to become a
    Class A professional. That's why not all players are eligible for the
    Ryder Cup. I believe you must be a Class A PGA Member to play in the
    Ryder Cup for the US.
