Description:

The CAEP Turf Management Program provides exciting opportunities for young turf professionals from around the world to learn more about the turf industry in the United States. Participants are placed on some of the top golf courses in the United States. CAEP hosts are passionate about the turf industry and set high standards for CAEP participants to learn by actually participating in activities involved with golf course and sports turf activities. Hosts are using the best technology in the world. These placements are demanding and require that the participant have both practical experience and an academic background in Turf Management Programs. Placements are available throughout the United States. Current host placements are available in Minnesota, Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Activities include seeding, top dressing, irrigation, pest and insect control, fertilization, mowing, use of pesticides, turf grass establishment/renovation, bunker maintenance, course setup, mechanics, and other cultural practices. An option for the turf grass participant is to attend one eight week course at the world renowned Penn State turf grass management course. CAEP participants are eligible to apply for financial support from a grant from the Toro Company.
