If you are interested in going to school to get an education in golf then you have probably noticed that there are two very different types of schools that are available to you. The first set of schools is general golf schools which can be found almost anywhere in the country. The second set of schools is golf academies which are located only in the nation’s golf capitals. Both of these types of schools can lead their students to getting careers in golf but there are some definite differences between the two types of schools.

Golf schools tend to prepare their students for really basic jobs in the industry of golf. They usually are best for students who want to work locally in the golf industry in areas that aren’t necessarily known for their golf courses or for great golf careers. For the person who just wants to teach golf to kids in his hometown, golf schools are great.

For those people who have bigger aspirations, it is better to look at golf academies. These are schools that teach the industry of golf at a more professional level. Located in golf capitals like Phoenix and Florida, these schools allow their students to network within the industry and ultimately to get highly professional jobs in various aspects of the industry of golf.
