The game of golf has a long and honored history stretching back several hundred years. It is now played on virtually every continent and many third world countries are developing elaborate courses to attract major tournaments and all the tourist and marketing dollars that go with them. Anyone who wants to tap into that growing industry in order to build an exciting and fulfilling golf career should consider attending golf school.

This doesn’t mean going to some instructional school that promises to improve anyone’s golf game in a few easy lessons. This is about enrolling in a golf program to earn a degree in golf management. These degrees can help students find jobs throughout the industry as course directors, club managers, golf coaches and journalists or as a professional player.

The curriculum in most of these programs is very similar. There are classes in business, such as management, human resources, marketing, and sales. There are also classes specific to golf, such as hospitality, grounds management and, of course, time spent improving golf skills and techniques. Students usually complete an extended internship for course credit as part of their final year of studies to give them an idea of how to apply their newly acquired knowledge in the business world.
