Australian PGA Professionals have a worldwide reputation for developing first class golfers for a long period of time.

From Charlie Earp with Greg Norman, Steven Bann with Stuart Appleby and number of other tour players, Gary Edwin with his stable of players, Ian Triggs with Karrie Webb, John Senden and other tour players through to Colin Swatton with Jason Day, Australian PGA Professionals are held in high regard internationally for their coaching ability.

Australian PGA Professionals are world leaders in coaching thanks to the ongoing developments produce in their own backyard.

Over the years, PGA Professionals have developed many products that have helped improve coaching and assisted players in developing their skills and facilitated coaches in expanding the services they offer to their students.

One example of this is PGA Life Member Peter Ormsby and his invention of the Swingyde. This simple device allows golfers to check swing positions simply when they are practising. This device can be used when rehearsing swings as well as being used during practice sessions hitting golf balls.

The Shots to Hole statistic program developed by PGA Professional Stuart Leong is another example of a product developed by a PGA Member. This statistical program is used by national teams and development programs worldwide. The captured data is shareable and coaches can use it to develop training plans for players and monitor skill development and identify areas for improvement.

The Pathguide teaching aid developed by PGA Professional Glenn Whittle is yet another example of PGA Professionals developing a product to assist golfers with their improvement. A simple barrier device, this aid can be used any number of different ways to help golfers feel swing changes and quickly adjust their swing to what the coach desires.

These products have come from the forward thinking of PGA Professionals who have seen the need for a product and taken it upon themselves to develop the product themselves. These products are generally not overly complicated and are user friendly and do two things very well. Firstly, they help the player improve their skills and, secondly, they help the PGA coach offer better coaching services.
