An accessible route into golf teaching.
The European Golf Teachers Federation was established to give people with a genuine passion for golf a defined path into teaching.
The EGTF story
The game is complicated. Teaching it does not need to be.
The EGTF was established in 1992 to train individuals who wanted to teach golf and gain a qualification. Its original story describes an international teaching organisation with members working across the golf industry.
From the beginning, the purpose has been practical: equip people who want to teach with a method they can understand, demonstrate and use confidently with the golfer in front of them.
The Federation’s teaching philosophy places communication and enjoyment alongside technical knowledge, including mirror-image teaching as a way to make difficult ideas more accessible for beginners.
