PGA educational programme announced for The Golf Show 2014

Former PGA Cup ace and renowned mind coach Matt Ellis is part of a wide-ranging line-up of speakers unveiled for The 2014 Golf Show at Harrogate.

Ellis, part of the victorious 2005 Great Britain & Ireland team that reclaimed the PGA Cup for the first time in 21 years, is just one of an impressive list of expert golf industry speakers unveiled for this year’s two-day educational programme.

Others include Ian Clark, Frank Newberry, Mark Bull, Andy Collings, Dan Hellman, David Reeves, Fredrik Tuxen, Paul Darby, Matt Roberts, Ian James and Dr Rob Neal.

Shaped with the help of PGA members, surveyed in March and April 2014, the seminars are free to attend for PGA Professionals and take place on the Tuesday and Wednesday of the three-day event staged at Harrogate International Centre (HIC), Yorkshire, on October 7-9, 2014.

Featuring industry experts on a variety of topics ranging from instruction to marketing, and staff management to biomechanics, the timetable is devised to help PGA Professionals enhance all aspects of their businesses.

In addition to familiar speakers, such as Dr Neal and Tuxen, who have spoken previously at the show, the 2014 line up also features a number of new faces, including some of the PGA’s Business Relationship Officers on the subject of How To Build Relationships and Access Free Business Support.

David Colclough, The PGA’s head of member education, said: “Making numerous small improvements to operations can significantly enhance business. 

“The wide variety of topics covered in the extensive education programme at The Golf Show can give our members the new knowledge and information they need to continue making successes of their own businesses, as well as adding value to the facilities where they work.”
