“It is always gratifying to work with the top professionals in the industry. Their determination in perfecting their skills to help golfers improve their game is awe inspiring,” reports Jennifer King, President of KZG. “With less than 500 qualified professional fitters in the entire world, far too few to support the golfing public, it is gratifying that these exceptional professionals continue to raise the bar and inspire others to join the profession.”
KZG’s Master Clubfitting Certification Program is open to golf professionals who aspire to practice their craft at the highest level. The class is attended by many top fitters in the industry and the interaction between colleagues and the constant exchange of ideas often leads to strong friendships well after the program ends.
Over three days, attendees experience a total immersion into every aspect of fitting. They are trained in head and shaft design, the latest fitting techniques, launch monitor analysis, sales techniques and general knowledge on how to grow their own businesses.
Each session provides graduates not only a wealth of skills and information but also a new set of colleagues. Participation in the three-day Certification Program is open to those who already have experience as a club fitter or teaching professional and are currently working in a legitimate retail golf facility. Classes are limited in size to assure individualized attention. The next open classes are Jan. 29- Feb. 2, 2011 at KZG Headquarters in North Hollywood, CA and May 1-3, 2011 at Golf Gleidingen in Hannover, Germany. PGA Professionals can earn MSR credits.
