Scots Pro's who dont fancy selling Mars Bars

Not really understanding this as Orr has been a Pro for a long time,I thought he would have done the 3 years already but obviously not.....I'd be guessing but I would say he turned pro 8 plus years back....canny blame them wishing to play rather than being a glorified Dev Alahan.
 
I find it strange they've got to do 30 hours a week in the shop i think thats excessive especially in the winter.No wonder Scottish golf is in a bit of a mess these guys just cant get out and play.Our pro Naveed never plays he teaches and has a good reputation for it but he may only be 30 but doesn't seem to want to play maybe to tight to pay the entry fee's as he's tighter than a photo finish. :D
 
This is club professionals that we're talking about there, not European Tour Players. It's probably like many vocations people choose. To become trained and qualified in many you need to complete a recognised om the job training. The PGA obviously think that along with the study for their Foundation Degree PGA trainees need to learn a fair bit whilst working under a PGA pro in either a pro shop at a club or some other recognised place. That's where they learn to deal with people, learn to carry out club repairs and start to develop thair coaching skills.

If you don't complete the training you don't get the qualification.

It's a bit like the old electical apprenticeships, you might make it through as an electicialn, but, you really wanted to make it as an approved electrician. More training, pass your regs course and then more money !
