  • BCC Turf School: A credit to the (golf) community

    If you think maintaining a golf course means cutting grass, laying sod and occasionally spraying for weeds, you are mistaken. Golf course maintenance is an art and a science. It requires not just hard work but knowledge  obtained through college-level courses, seminars, practical experience and networking with other superintendents.
    Many golf courses today require a superintendent has at least a two-year degree from a certified agronomy school. Some ask their head superintendent have a bachelor’s degree or better.
