Becoming AI = Lining the pockets of TGM llc?
 

I was looking into GSEB levels I & II with a view to becoming authorised, it seems like a large investment and having recently spent an inordinate amount of time with the book and the LBG forum fear that I might not actually learn anything that I'm not in the process of learning here.

My question is.... 'is it worth it?' as for the amount they want I'm fairly sure I could fly to the swamp for some quality time :salut:

Why do you want to be authorized?

Sorry, i should have mentioned that I'm a PGA member in the UK and a full time coach with a biomechanics and physiology background.

I research a lot and am always open to new/old theory but despite all this feel drawn back to TGM, it's objective and logical, two words I'd use to describe both myself and my teaching.

Being authorised wouldn't enhance my business but I hoped might go some way to quenching my thirst!

Great question that needs to be answered first.

I know I will never become a golf instructor, heck I hardly get a chance to play anymore so I would have no need to for the letters next to my name but it doesn't mean I don't know a little about the book or need to stop pursuing a greater understanding. Homer is habit forming- I got the sickness.

I would make the investment and get authorized. There are many benefits as well. One of the benefits to becoming authorized is the Free exposure from the show “All About G.O.L.F.” on Golf Academy Live.Com. All authorized TGM G.O.L.F. instructors are invited to participate on the live “All About G.O.L.F.” shows and talk about the book and their instruction programs. I am advertizing Golf Academy Live.Com in Golf Digest, Golf and Golf Tips magazines monthly and soon the golfing public will know about TGM and the benefits of learning the golf swing from an authorized TGM G.O.L.F. Instructor. Also as an authorized TGM G.O.L.F. Instructor you will be listed on the Golf Academy Live.Com web site with links to your web site and email address for Free as well. On Golf Academy Live.Com you can teach private lessons live 24/7 on-line at 320x240, 20 frames in HD to anyone in the world. It is my way of promoting TGM to the world. Joe will be promoting it on TGM web site as well. I am sure Lynn will promote it as I would like him to be one of the hosts on the show “All About G.O.L.F.” I welcome the promoting of TGM and the authorized TGM G.O.L.F. Instructors on Golf Academy Live.Com The more we can get the word out the stronger TGM will be. I say united we stand divided we fall. It is time for all authorized TGM G.O.L.F. Instructors to work together and promote the greatest book ever. I think we owe it to Homer.

Lynn is NOT an Authorized Instructor.

Jaridyard, I am based in the uk, and am an AI, if you wish to contact me about the upcoming class in October in London please do so. Ian Clark.

6bmike,

Are you saying Lynn is not a G.S.E.D. Authorized Instructor?

This is news to me.

Lynn would you please clear the air on this subject.

I can't believe you did not take the test to become an authorized Instructor.

Thanks,

John W Rohan-Weaver G.S.E.M.

Thats is what I'm saying. I'll let Lynn explain the details if he wishes- not my place.

I don't think that is is a stretch to say that all professional certifications, in the end, deal with the benefits of enhancing business (yours and the certifying body's), with the possible exception of businesses that deal with public safety.

And far as quenching thirst, the individual can find many ways to do that, some a lot better and a lot more cost effective than others.
