Work Experience Activity Files – Level 1
Instructions
Enclosed are the electronic files for the Work Experience Activities for the Professional Golf Management Program. These are to be used in completing the Activities for submission with your Work Experience Kit. In offering these electronic files, The PGA assumes that apprentices know how to load and access files, as well as well as perform basic word-processing functions.
About the Files
The files were created in Microsoft Word and are available for both PC and Macintosh computers. The CD that you received will have both versions, and will detect which computer you have. The files are in Rich Text Format (.rtf) and should be readable to all computer programs and platforms.
If you have a problem opening the files, contact technical support offered by your computer company. The PGA is not able to provide technical assistance in translating files.
The Work Experience Activity files on the disk are named as acronyms:
BPO Pre Sem.rtf = Business Planning and Operations
CE WEA.rtf = Career Enhancement
CR Pre Sem.rtf = Customer Relations
GCDR WEA.rtf = Golf Club Design and Repair
GCFM WEA.rtf = Golf Car Fleet Management
PDP WEA.rtf = Player Development Programs
ITT WEA.rtf = Introduction to Teaching
ROG WEA.rtf = Rules of Golf
TO WEA.rtf = Tournament Operations
Constitution.rtf = The PGA Constitution
Analysis Pre Sem.rtf = Analysis of the Swing
Also included are the following files:
Checklist.rtf
Cover page.rtf
ScoreCast_Install_Instructions.rtf
Before you Begin
The files are "read-only." Before you can work on them, therefore, you must save them to your hard drive with another name. To do that, simply change the extension (document type) to .doc (if you have Word), i.e. GCFM WEA.rtf “saved as” GCFM WEA.doc. If you have another word processing application, name your document appropriately.
Completing the Activities
1. The text is pre-formatted and answers are inserted into table cells. Next to or below each statement, a table cell appears. Place your cursor in the cell and type. Your answer will appear in a larger font (Times New Roman 12) and color (green in Level 1, blue in Level 2, and dark red in Level 3 and Electives) to clearly denote it from the questions. Neither the cells nor the color will appear in the printout (unless you're using color toner, in which case the colored type will appear).
As you enter text into the document, don't worry about it spilling over onto another page. The document's formatting will keep questions and answers together, and the next activity will follow on its own page.
Note: The small black boxes to the left of the lines (if you have the formatting turned on) indicate the formatting style that keeps paragraphs together. They will not appear on your printout.
2. Some activities are not contained in the electronic file. There are some incidences where space is not allotted for an activity, e.g. writing a newsletter (Rules of Golf: Activity 4). In these cases, complete these activities separately and insert them behind the appropriate tab.
3. When you complete an Activity, run a spell check, print it out and proofread it carefully. When you are satisfied that the activity has been accurately completed, insert it behind the appropriate tab.
4. Refer to the Inventory Checklist to make sure you have completed all of the required Work Experience Activities.
5. The PGA strongly suggests that you make a backup copy of your completed Work Experience Kit prior to submitting it for evaluation.
