I am currently working to get my class A PGA Membership, currently on level 2.
I did not start my PGA work books until 2018 after being in the golf business for a while and discovering that I love the golf business. My progress on within the PGA has been some what slow as I have dedicated most of my time to growing the Council Bluffs Country Club.
