The Southern California PGA has created a mentor program to aid Associates going through the PGA program. Having the support of a PGA Member mentor can serve as an important component of the Associate program. Although not required, it is encouraged to use this resource to advance your path to PGA Membership.
For more information, please contact the Mentor Program Lead, Tony Chavez, PGA, chavezt@pga.com.
