In 1990 the PGA of Czech Republic became a member country of the Confederation of Professional Golf. Then, based on the resolution of the AGM, the PGA was registered with the Interior Ministry under the official title “Professional Golf Association golf players and coaches in Czechoslovakia’ (abbreviation PGAC) on August 16, 1991.
1997 was marked by the continued rise of the PGA, moving to the second stage of the education recognition process and in particular the teaching system, by the Confederation of Professional Golf. In 1998 the PGA was transferred to the third and final phase of the recognition being granted Full Recognition.
A great success for the PGA of Czech Republic membership was the presentation of The Five-Star Professional Award to Petr Nemec for the establishment and successful management of PGA of Czech Republic education programme.
