Stanedge Golf Club owner awarded PGA Advanced Fellow Professional status
The owner of a picturesque golf club nestled on the outskirts of Chesterfield has been awarded a prestigious status by the world’s leading golf association.
Fame Tate, owner of Stanedge Golf Club says she is ‘elated’ and ‘honoured’ after being awarded PGA Advanced Fellow Professional status, which she successfully gained after submitting her PGA Excel application.
PGA Excel is the Association’s dedicated assessment framework, enabling members to demonstrate their impact, achievements and value to employers, golfers and the wider industry.
This is the latest in a highly successful career for Fame, who previously represented both England and Great Britain & Ireland as an amateur. She also played on the Ladies European Tour for six years, before launching a coaching business and eventually taking over the reigns at Stanedge.
Fame explained: “When the news came through, I was absolutely over the moon – it certainly put a smile on my face.”
“For me both personal and professional development are extremely important – every step of the way I’ve always endeavoured to develop my own skill set and knowledge, with a focus on specialist knowledge, business management and golf growth and development which of course appear heavily within the value blocks of PGA Excel.”
Founded in 1931, Stanedge Golf Club is located on the outskirts of Chesterfield, providing idyllic views stretching over four counties.
The golf course is a beautiful moorland/parkland course suitable for all levels of ability, offering an engaging, challenging and varied test of golf.
Fame added: “In terms of the business, I’m continually looking at areas where we do really well, or areas for improvement, but with this, I felt it provided a vital insight into myself within my overall career and enabled me to look at areas both personally and professionally where I have done well, and areas that I’d like to focus on in the future.
Stanedge Golf Club supports the marketing and economic growth of the town through Chesterfield Champions, a network of over 200 organisations across Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.
