Who are the PGA of Europe?
The Professional Golfers´Association of Europe is a confederation of 33 national PGAs from across the continent and further afield which caters for the administrative needs of its member countries and a collective total of some 12000 individual men and women golf professionals.
Since the PGA of Europe was launched in 1989, to serve the needs of professional golfers under the European Community umbrella, it has grown steadily in size and stature in terms of the help, advice and positive guidance that the organisation is both able and qualified to provide.
Education in teaching and coaching, trade shows and exhibitions, career opportunities, merchandising needs, the exchange of innovative ideas, the introduction of new technology, publications.. alll these specialist subjects and more are comprehensively dealt with by the PGA of E. The Association Training Standards Committee has spread a level of coaching expertise among the emerging golfing nations to ensure that the highest possible levels of teaching are upheld across the continent.
Many expert judges feel that the growing number of countries now providing leading players for the Tours around the world has been influenced by the PGA of Europe's input.

THE PGA OF EUROPE
AND THE ATALAYA PARK
Partners and Friends
The Atalaya Park Hotel has been, for many years, the PGA of Europe's second home as indeed has the Costa del Sol with all the region has to offer golf and golfers, both professional and amateur.
The staging of annual conferences and meetings of all description at Atalaya Park over a period of many years has resulted in a special relationship being forged between the two bodies. Business, pleasure and friendship go hand in glove.
The Atalaya Park championship golf course has staged several of the PGA of Europe's annual team championships, contested by three man teams from up to thirty different nations, many of whom have not only returned again and again for the competition but have subsequently enjoyed the many facilities and delights on offer at the hotel. |
