Top 100 Program - Changes for 2020
03 April, 2020
With the first year of the Top 100 Program presented by Foresight Sports Canada in the history books, the Association looks forward to building on the successes to further recognize members for their dedication and commitment while continuing to advance their careers through professional development.
New for 2020, the Top 100 Program will now reward points for attending education seminars/sessions or volunteerism within the golf industry at non-PGA of Alberta administered initiatives. For example, if a member attends an education event or volunteers with another golf organization, they will be eligible to receive Top 100 points for this.
All requests for points for non-PGA of Alberta administered initiatives must be submitted through the Extracurricular Approval form on the website. Some examples of outside education/volunteerism acceptable for Top 100 points will include (but not limited to):
Examples
- Education Workshops (Junior Golf, Teaching, Coaching, Golf Operations, etc.)
- Education Workshops must be administered by golf related organization OR if run by non-golf related organization, must be relevant to the golf industry
- PGA of Canada Training Academy courses not eligible for points
- Industry Volunteer at non-PGA of Alberta administered initiatives (Golf Clinic, Tournament Support, Junior Programs, etc.)
- Must not be compensated in order to be eligible for Top 100 points
*Please note that PGA of Canada education (Tee Talks Live, CDC, CNC, Webinars, etc.) is already eligible for Top 100 points with submission of form (required education through PGA of Canada Training Academy courses not eligible for points).
