| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the process of becoming a golf course superintendent. States that "there are many possible paths to becoming a golf course superintendent, ranging from working your way up from the maintenance crew to pursuing an advanced degree in agronomy or horticulture with a specialization in turfgrass management." Lists four steps that "are the most commonly followed", including getting a summer job on a golf course while in high school, deciding between a two-year and a four-year program, getting an internship, and becoming a first or second assistant superintendent. Offers suggestions for obtaining an internship. Concludes that "the road to becoming a golf course superintendent is longer and more difficult than many realize. Those willing to put this much time and effort into their education and work experience could likely find more lucrative vocations in other industries. But for those...who want to work with nature and be close to the game, the road is well worth traveling." |
