LETTER FROM TIM MAHONEY
I had the privilege of co- chairing the most recent PGA Teaching and Coaching Committee . The committee spent two years creating the Platform / Pillars of the Elite Coach . The committee consisted of Chuck Cook , Todd Anderson , Scott Davenport , Mark Wood , Cheryl Anderson and others . We created a document that outlined the Characteristics of the Elite Coach . There are six pillars , and one of these pillars is Coaching Interpersonal Skills . The interpersonal skills were ranked 1-15 . The 6-10 skills include :
• Building Relationships
• Patience
• Competence
• Culture of Learning
• Problem Solving
Coaches , continue to grow the game at your respective locations through innovative and educational programming and events . Keep the above interpersonal skills at the forefront of your practice , and let ’ s continue to create a culture of learning for our students !
Many thanks to all our Troon Coach partners as together we continue to grow the game of golf .
