Alberta Golf Superintendents Association
The Alberta Golf Superintendents Association was formed in 1987 with the mandate to promote the position of the Golf Course Superintendent and to achieve more recognition for the Superintendent as an authority on golf course maintenance, cultural requirements of fine turfgrasses and its environment. To promote fraternity, benevolence, justice and mutual understanding to and for all its members.
Golf Canada
Golf Canada is the National Sports Federation and governing body for golf in Canada representing 375,000 golfers and 1,522 member clubs across the country. A proud member of the Canadian Olympic Committee, Golf Canada’s mission is to increase Canadian participation and excellence in golf. By investing in the growth of the sport and introducing more participants of all ages to the game, our vision is to be a world leader in golf.
PGA of Canada
The PGA of Canada is the second oldest and third largest professional golf association in the world. But what does that mean? Who are we? What do we do, and furthermore, how has that work evolved over the past century?
At the heart of the organization, we believe golf is a transcending sport.
For both amateurs and professionals, the game embodies integrity, sportsmanship, patience, and skill. There is something inherently romantic about the sport, which is why so many fall in love with it. It’s why we fell in love with it.
PGA of Canada members (nearly 4000 of them, now) have fostered that love into a career, dedicating their livelihoods to the betterment of the sport and ensuring future generations from diverse backgrounds have an equitable opportunity to enjoy it.
Our professionals are premier players, teachers, coaches, managers, and facilitators of golf operations who got their start with the PGA of Canada by passing a playing ability test, better known as the PAT. They then spent time developing their specializations through our PGA Training Academy and honed their skills with real-world experience at a public or private golf facility.
Our PGA of Canada professionals are more than just a group of golf enthusiasts; they are a community of dedicated professionals that advance the game, foster camaraderie, and improve the viability of golf as a career.
