LEVEL 3 – INNER CIRCLE
Achieving Level 3 status is an honor that is based on performance rather than testing. There are no written exams to pass or oral presentations to make. It is based simply on your performance as a leader in the field of golf instruction.
Promotion to Level 3 is based on four individual categories. Each category contributes to the overall resume for the candidate. There is no specific weighting given to the four categories. The performance might well be stronger in one category than others and will naturally not be equal in all categories. The candidate’s accomplishments are evaluated as an overall body of work.
The four categories listed below comprise the criteria. They are listed in no particular order:
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
The candidate has taught outstanding, high quality performers who have achieved success at the top levels in their field (amateur or professional} as a result of their work together. His or her instructional abilities must be evident in the student’s results through some combination of a repetitive golf swing, scoring ability, and course management.
MEDIA CHANNELS
The candidate has established a presence with a national audience via one or more media channels. This may include published works in magazines and/or books, television appearances, social media presence, and/or other media channels. The published works credit not only Plane Truth information learned but also show creativity, thought leadership, and the ability to further our instructional concepts. (Examples include national golf magazines, The Golf Channel, prominent podcasts or other national programs).
AWARDS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The candidate is recognized as an outstanding instructor through awards and listings of top instructors (regional or national levels). The candidate demonstrates leadership within his or her golf sphere and is recognized by many as being influential to the development of his or her profession. This can be through the development of golf instructors, the industry, or the playing population.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLANE TRUTH
The candidate helps the Plane Truth to grow our community of open-minded instructors and strengthen the brand on a national or global level. This can be through assisting in our programs by various means. Examples include contributing actively on the SwingU Forum, our public Facebook Discussion Forum, hosting and/or instructing in golf schools or instructor seminars, and contributing content for educational purposes.
