Golf has become an increasingly popular recreational activity in the
United States. Minnesota and North Dakota have more golf courses per
capita than any other states. Between 1994 and 1997 a total of 2,009
new golf courses opened across the country. An additional 1,101 courses
underwent expansion.
Professional golf course managers and turf specialists use technology
and talent to balance the needs of people with those of nature. Corporate
office parks, municipal recreation departments, and suppliers to the
turfgrass industry are creating unprecedented demand for well-trained
turfgrass managers, supervisors, and scientists. |
