What is the title of a professional responsible for overseeing a golf shop and instructional services at a PGA authorized facility?

The title of Head Golf Professional is designated for the individual responsible for overseeing both the golf shop and instructional services at a PGA authorized facility. This role encompasses a range of responsibilities including managing shop operations, staff supervision, and offering quality instruction to golfers. The Head Golf Professional is typically involved in developing programs that enhance the golfing experience for members and guests, ensuring that the facility runs smoothly and meets the expectations of the clientele.

Other roles such as Golf Shop Manager or Assistant Golf Professional focus more specifically on tasks within the golf shop or support functions, rather than the overarching leadership and strategic responsibilities that come with the Head Golf Professional title. The Director of Golf may oversee multiple facilities or have more executive responsibilities that often go beyond the day-to-day operations of a particular golf shop. Therefore, the Head Golf Professional stands out as the key figure directly involved in both retail and instructional aspects at the facility.
