Seriously, though, just think of the guest speakers they'll have at graduation! Better than the snorefest that spoke at my graduation...Matteonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835604847134337354.post-36067660708781077682009-04-10T12:39:00.000-07:002009-04-10T12:39:00.000-07:00That's a clever play on words, an "education" on golf "schools"! I think the more things a person learns the better, and more multidisciplinary, even better still. This sounds like a blast to me!

The prime incentive here seems to be to secure a very specific job after graduation, but that doesn't seem very positive to me.Federicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835604847134337354.post-53973398667311515432009-04-10T12:35:00.000-07:002009-04-10T12:35:00.000-07:00It's interesting that as a golf teacher or instructor you'd be required to know more than you would have learned from just playing the game yourself. I wonder if the expectation is to place directly into a golf instructor position?Kristinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835604847134337354.post-24256558623610992002009-04-10T12:34:00.000-07:002009-04-10T12:34:00.000-07:00It's really interesting to look into the vast number of different education opportunities there are; I think it's wonderful because it encourages people to be very specific and limitless about their goals, whatever they are. Golf school, why not?Sandranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835604847134337354.post-52637338353673774992009-04-10T12:33:00.000-07:002009-04-10T12:33:00.000-07:00Golf course management is much more complicated than it seems. Just consider the vastly multi faceted nature of the clubhouse, from fields to amenities, restaurants, member benefits, and function planning. There really is a lot going on off the links as well as on.Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835604847134337354.post-83585869612603954912009-04-10T12:28:00.000-07:002009-04-10T12:28:00.000-07:00I would definitely be interested in event coordination in golf, or anywhere else really. I feel like that is such a massive, lucrative field, but I have no idea how to break into it. Do golf schools cover that sort of events planner education?Ashleynoreply@blogger.com
