TESTIMONIALS
“When I entered the golf maintenance world eight years ago, I brought with me heavy equipment experience, but very little small engine and agronomy knowledge. The main thing I have learned through the Equipment Management Certificate Program is that experience is your strongest attribute. Even a little experience goes a long way on your journey to completing this program. The team at GCSAA is more like family, and they have been pushing me to continue with the program even though you can do it at your own pace. It’s always nice to know that there is a team in your corner, helping you strive for success. I will continue with this program until I reach Level 1 and Level 2 Certificates, for myself, for my team, and for my company. Professional development for turf technicians may be hard to find, but GCSAA continues to be the leader and cheering section we all need to become better Equipment Managers.” Kayla L. Kipp, Golf Course Equipment Manager Lodestone & Fantasy Valley Golf Course
“I started the ASCS as a stepping stone for the next step in my career. I find that the program is well designed to help enrich my skill set, whether its environmental, leadership, business management, or agronomy. There is something for every assistant in the series to learn from and become an asset to their club. As a member of GCSAA, the webinars are free for two of the certificates. GCSAA has the right idea of getting this going as it can be a way to push an assistant to the next level.” Carey Hofner, Assistant Superintendent Club at Cordillera
