Player Development Program
The LPGA Player Development Program (PDP) is a world-class golf school taught by LPGA teaching pros and former tour players. There are two programs: the four-day "Skills Improvement" program and the two-day "Focus on Scoring" program.
The four-day "Skills Improvement" program concentrates on building and strengthening individual skills, such as full swing, chipping, pitching, putting and sand play.
The two-day "Focus on Scoring" program improves the scoring game. Program sessions cover skill assessment, course strategy, mental, physical and emotional skills for successful competitive play.
LPGA Section Seminars and Workshops
Throughout the year, each LPGA T&CP Section conducts a variety of local and regional educational workshops on a variety of topics, including teaching techniques, fitness for golf, coaching, rules, marketing, financial planning, psychological aspects of golf and other special business and teaching issues.
LPGA National/Regional Summits
The LPGA national and regional summits are two (2)-day education programs offering professional leadership, business and personal development training sessions to LPGA members and others involved in the business of golf.
Youth Initiatives
The LPGA T&CP Membership has been a pioneer in developing golf programs that focus on learning and playing the game of golf as a vehicle for developing positive self-esteem and life skills in children. Programs to advance interest in golf among today's youth (ages 7-17) include the Ronald McDonald House Charities® LPGA Tour Junior Clinic Program and The LPGA Foundation program LPGA-USGA Girls Golf which are supported by both the LPGA Tour and LPGA T&CP Membership.
The LPGA T&CP Membership also has been instrumental in assisting the World Golf Foundation's First Tee initiative in developing the national curriculum for First Tee chapters that are being established throughout the United States.
Women's Initiatives
Established in 1991, the LPGA Golf Clinics for Women are held in more than 15 cities nationwide. LPGA T&CP members provide personalized golf instruction and lessons on etiquette. Participants in this clinic series have the opportunity to socialize with other women golfers in each day-long clinic, as well as learn to utilize the golf course to cultivate business relationships.
