GERDUS BARNARD
SOUTH AFRICAN GTF

I am a Level III teaching professional who has qualified through the South African Golf Teachers Federation (SAGTF). I joined the federation in August of 2007.

I have been teaching golf for the past three years and started a junior golf academy at Hillside Golf club in Pretoria. Furthermore, I teach golf to juniors at nine schools through a company called Sports Zone. We arrange and host inter-school golf competitions for these children on a quarterly basis, where we also hand out medals for the top four students and certificates to all the students who participate in the competition. I have also compiled a teaching manual for junior golf, and the manual has been approved and endorsed by the SAGTF.

Golf is my passion, my way of life, and I enjoy every moment of teaching this wonderful game to anyone who is eager to learn. Observing other teachers and sharing knowledge is a great way to enhance one’s skills, and I am always grateful for the opportunity to observe and learn from a wonderful mentor and teacher, Neville Schmulian.
