PGA head golf professional?

Question

What does a Head Golf Pro do? How do you become one? How much money do they make?

Answer 1

Most of em' scrape by, giving lessons to their clients at whichever course they work for.  Some are good enough to make it onto a country club, where the money is obviously better.

It takes years of classes, tests, seminars. etc.. to earn your PGA class A teaching license...  

Money isnt great at all, unless youre behind the gates of a well to do country club as mentioned above...

Answer 2

There are a few ways to become what is known as a Class A PGA Club Professional.  The most well-known method is the apprentice program.  Basically you get seek a full-time position under a current Head Pro as his/her assistant.  They advise you about the requirements from the PGA to become Class A. (multiple college level classes, players ability test etc.) Over time, you earn your Class A status and are eligible to be hired as a Head Professional.  For more information, stop in at a local club or make an appointment  with a local Pro and ask him about this program...he may even know who might be hiring in his "section." (A section is how the PGA breaks down the country.)
