Highlights of 2010 for Kevin included a third in the 2010 Futures Championship and a second in the Southern Trainee Championship.
However, playing is only one aspect of the traineeship and Kevin balanced his consistent playing performance with both academic studies and workplace performance.Kevin is a much deserving winner of the award after outstanding playing and academic performances during the three year traineeship program saw him finish as the highest performing third year trainee in 2010.
“Throughout his three years in the program he maintained consistently high standards both academically and on course, being at or near the top both in assignment grades and in his scoring average.”
“Kevin was a model PGA trainee professional. He was able to successfully combine the demands of the traineeship to perform well in the workplace, in assessments and on the golf-course,” said Geoff Stewart PGA Training Coordinator.
The PGA Traineeship is a rigorous three year program which prepares students in a number of areas relevant to being a PGA Member; from playing at an elite level, coaching techniques to running a business.
“The PGA traineeship is designed to provide a broad range of skills in order to prepare PGA members for a variety of roles in the golf industry. Kevin will make a success of any of these roles.”
“Kevin has developed the skills to be a successful player, club professional or coach. He was the ideal trainee and is now in a position to choose his own career path in the golf industry.”
“The graduating class of 2010 was of a very high calibre and so I am very honoured to have been chosen as the Trainee of the Year,” said award recipient Kevin Conlong.
“The traineeship has provided me with a solid grounding for my future golf endeavours and I look forward to building a long and prosperous career in the golf industry.”
Kevin was selected from among his 90 peers that graduated from the PGA Traineeship in 2010 and was very honoured by the accolade.
