Description	The role of the PGA Professional requires skills and knowledge in a number of different areas. This module focuses on a selection of the areas that are key and current to the modern industry through introducing Students to the areas of custom fitting a player and the Rules of Golf. Custom fitting and customisation allows a player to have the optimum club specifications to suit their individual game. Knowledge of the Rules of Golf is a requirement for both the regulations that golf clubs must adhere too as laid out by the R&A and for the playing of the game. A PGA Professional will most likely be the ‘go-to’ person that players will look to when a rules decision is required and for the necessary advice when a custom fitting is needed. Both areas can be regarded as necessary key industry skills
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Understand the various Health & Safety considerations within a custom fitting and customisation workshop Understand the correct custom fitting and customisation process and provide an up to date custom fitting and customisation service to clients Interpret and apply the key components of the ‘Rules of Golf’ to a variety of different scenarios which may occur on the golf course and to explain and justify which rule is applicable. Analyse the essential differences between the key words used in the ‘Rules of Golf’ e.g. ‘may’; ‘should’; ‘must’; ‘a ball’; ‘the ball’.
