What is a club pro in golf?

A club pro in golf is a professional golfer who works at a golf club, usually as the head golf professional. Club pros are responsible for providing instruction to members and guests, managing the pro shop, running tournaments and events, and overseeing the overall operations of the golf facility.

Club pros often have extensive experience and training in the game of golf, and many hold certifications from organizations such as the PGA or LPGA. They are typically skilled players themselves, with low handicaps and a deep understanding of the game's fundamentals.

In addition to teaching lessons and giving clinics, club pros may also offer club fitting services, equipment sales, and other amenities to enhance the golfing experience for members and guests. They serve as ambassadors for the sport of golf and are often involved in promoting the game to new players and growing the game at the grassroots level.
