“The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own
image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.” Steven Spielberg
The Mission of the North Florida PGA’s Instruction Mentoring Program is to provide the PGA Assistants
and PGA Apprentices of the NFPGA an opportunity to have additional instructional resources at their
disposal for the enhancement of their teaching skills and growth of their teaching programs.
Services offered by the Division Mentors:
1.
Observe experienced award winning teachers teach
2.
Have the mentors watch you teach
3.
Help with PGM Teaching education
4.
Insight into how to develop and grow your teaching business
5.
Share ideas on teaching
These mentoring experiences will provide invaluable insight and feedback from experienced and
successful instructors within our Section. We encourage you to take advantage of what these
exceptional instructors have to offer you to help guide you to your own successful teaching program.
They have provided their time to help and we appreciate their dedication to your futures as a PGA
Member. And to think…someday you’ll mentor others!
