The P.A.T. or Player Ability Test for the PGA of America, which is a must if you are going to continue on in your quest to become a PGA Member. Most of the requirements to be a PGA Professional are book learning (you have to attend 3 different weeks of “business school” and pass tests on the information presented, as well as completing extensive course work in workbook form), but one requirement that presents a major hurdle for any aspiring pro who is not a good player is the PAT, which sets a goal of shooting 15 strokes or less above the course rating in tournament conditions. The player must beat or match this score, and if he or she fails, must wait another 3 or 4 months to try again. You get unlimited amounts of tries, but you must pass in order to complete the educational process required to become a Class A PGA Professional.
C.J. D’Arco, the PAT Project, has successfully passed his PAT (Player Ability Test). He just sent me this text: “Hey Wayne- …I passed the PAT while I was out in Scottsdale. Shot 79-70 with two eagles and 7 birdies on the card. I kept watching the videos and of course couldn’t have done it without you man!!!
Congratulations C.J.!
