Exams over and career move!!!!

Bonjour.

My exams are now over thankfully and I'm pleased to say I am fairly certain I passed with flying colours. The Science, Coaching and Retail exams were all reasonably straight forward which was a relief but I am slightly unsure about my success with the technology one. The PGA can be cruel buggers sometimes. My main revision method was through past papers, as recommended to me by various people and for 3 of the exams this was fine. However, with the technology exam, NOT ONE of the questions on the practise paper came up! Seriously, what's the point of the practise paper. Instead all the questions were from the 300 odd page study guide in which I doubt anyone had read from cover. Questions included: 'why is carbon black (?!) used to make grips?'. I tried to guess intelligently by giving practical benefits and as it turns out the answer was 'TO MAKE THEM BLACK'!!!! What a pillock I am.

Hopefully I blagged well enough to achieve the 40% pass mark, but I'll have to wait till July to find out.


On a different note, I am pleased and excited to say that I am moving jobs again and beginning a job with Kent National Golf Club in just over a week. I won't go into the factors within my current job as to why i'm leaving but suffice to say it has been very hard getting up at 5.30am and spending 2 hours a day in my car. The distinct lack of golf I've been playing simply isn't acceptable. I am first and foremost a golfer and to get myself into my current position was in retrospect a very bad plan. Oh well, thankfully that will change soon and I will once again have time to play, practise, and at last begin to teach!! I am really keen to start giving golf lessons and I believe I am now ready! This is another thing that has not been possible lately.

It's seems crazy to be moving jobs again, but I honestly believe I have now found a golf club I will enjoy working at. I can't wait to begin.....
