Rugby-based mum of two, Kirsty McDonald, who only gave birth to her second child eight weeks ago, has attained SportscoachUK Trainer status - putting her among 30 of the best in the whole of the country.
And that is great news for the PGA and all of the current and aspiring golf professionals that pass through its doors as McDonald is ensuring that they will receive some of the best delivered training in the country.
Under her new SportscoachUK status, McDonald is putting the PGA tutors through their paces to ensure that they come up to scratch when they're in the classroom.
McDonald has been a golf pro since 1996 and will continue to be one of the PGA's leading swing tutors, but her new qualification has allowed her to follow her childhood dream of becoming a teacher.
"When I was younger I always wanted to be a teacher but my dad was a teacher and said don't go into it but somehow I've managed to go full circle and got into it," said McDonald, who also played on the Ladies European Tour.
"I've been teaching on the PGA Foundation degree and the diploma before that for a few years. This is just a progression up from tutoring.
"It's taken me over two years to get this and with raising a family at the same time, my little boy is just over two and my daughter's eight weeks old, it has been a challenge and a bit of struggle but well worth it."
McDonald, who was presented with her certificate at the PGA's Belfry training academy explained what she will now be doing as one of the select few SportscoachUK trainers in the United Kingdom.
"I'm teaching the tutors to teach," she said.
"It's not golf teaching, but I'm still coaching in my eyes even though the context is different. It doesn't matter whether it's golf technique or how to use a flip chart it's the same thing. The bigger difference though is it's much more academic based.
"This qualification is recognition that I know how to train tutors. The motivation for me is to maintain the quality of our coaching and to do that you need to have good tutors in place who can transfer their experience and knowledge.
"I don't think there are many other institutions putting their tutors through as rigorous a test. We're really making sure that the quality of knowledge and ability to deliver is there."
But McDonald, who has been putting her fellow tutors under the microscope this week, will not be just restricting her expertise to golf as her skills are transferable to any sport - having also worked with British Equestrian tutors.
The 36-year-old is proud of being the first PGA professional to achieve the SportscoachUK trainer certificate but insists more tutors are needed given the growth of the game.
"I feel really honoured to be the first PGA professional to get this," she said.
"The support the PGA has given me since I've been a tutor has just been fantastic. To have the opportunity to go and do this has been a real honour.
"But we need more trainers to qualify to train the tutors. There are more and more people who want to be tutors. There's so much more demand so someone needs to make sure that the tutors are trained to a high level and that the standards are maintained."
