It’s safe to say that the world of golf has seen an overhaul of its’ reputation of late. Whilst it has held a standing as the pastime of gentlemen for many years, until now it has never been particularly “sexy”.

Thanks to a media onslaught of attractive players, their glamorous partners and the remarkable rewards for professional sportsmen, the “game” of golf has never seemed more appealing.

This new and improved reputation has sparked the interest of many young enthusiasts who are increasingly of the belief that professional golfing is the career path for them, and furthermore this has led to many attempting to bridge the gap between hobby and professional play.

As with many sports, professional golfing is a difficult and highly competitive market and the dreams of many are likely to end in disappointment. Preparation is of course the key to success and this is the raison d’etre for the increasing number of golfing schools throughout the UK, including the famed West Sussex based Golf College, who are currently offering their Advanced Apprenticeship in Golf to up to thirty students per academic year.

As might be expected, the first and most important element of any course which aims to teach students professional skills in Golf is the actual study into the game. This course includes a complete training in golf which invokes coaching, practice, play and competition in its efforts to improve the skills and knowledge of players. Of course, it is necessary to have a foundation level of play in the game prior to entry onto the course and in this particular case, it is necessary to have a handicap played in single figures.

In addition to their skills on the green, the aim of golf school UK is to prepare students for every aspect of their professional career. This half of the course is undertaken as part of a BTEC National Diploma in General Sport and covers a wide range of physiological and psychological modules, all of which aim to give insight and preparation into the life of a sportsperson.

Preparation for Activity

As any sportsperson will attest, even the most gentle of physical activities requires intense preparation and consistent training in order to get the maximum benefit and to prevent injury or discomfort. Although, from an outsiders’ perspective, golf would appear to be a relaxing activity or hobby, the muscles of the back, legs and of course the arms are in constant demand – especially during professional play and for maximum benefit and success in the field, intense physical training together with the theory behind such practices is essential.

The curriculum of golf school UK incorporates the finest and latest in anatomy, physiological studies and physical therapy to ensure that the future professionals develop and maintain the best possible habits.

Ambassador

A professional sportsperson is expected to be an ambassador for their country or team and to uphold the highest standards at all time. When these standards fall, it can bring the game into disrepute. Therefore the skills and knowledge to cope with this responsibility are taught and passed onto students of golf school UK from the professional and post-professional trainers employed.

The Golf College is a unique educational establishment, offering annual courses in golf. The College provides a mixture of physical, practical and academic training for the sport. www.thegolfcollege.com.
