Recommended Maximum Fees for Instruction

Fees paid to PGA professionals for training and coaching are acceptable but should be kept as low as possible.  Professionals typically provide instruction to juniors at contributed or discounted rates and grant funds used for instruction are limited to the following maximum rates:

• PGA Class-A Professionals - $35 per hour - minimum of 4 students as a group
• Other Professionals - $25 per hour - minimum of 4 students as a group

Special Needs - Programs working with children with special needs will require additional instructors and people to assist with supervision.  If your program includes children with special needs, please be sure to include such information in your grant application. 

Volunteers - Programs are encouraged to utilize volunteers to assist with supervision and training.  Many basic golf skills can be adequately demonstrated by an accomplished golfer serving as a volunteer.  Your golf professional can help identify potential volunteers that are members or customers of the golf facility you are utilizing
