The CGTF provides three categories of certification. It is important to know what each category means, and also how members may identify themselves. It is required through the Code of Ethics that members accurately identify themselves. As a reminder, CGTF membership can be revoked for improper use of a member’s correct membership logo.
Associate Member
Associate Members are qualified to teach all facets of the game to average golfers. Associate Members must identify themselves with the words “Associate Member” when describing their CGTF membership. Affiliate Members are not allowed to describe themselves as a “CGTF Professional” or “Certified CGTF Member,” for example. Phrases that would be acceptable are “CGTF Associate Member Teaching Professional” and “Certified CGTF Associate Member.”
