“We’re excited to bring online classes that reflect the real challenges and opportunities faced by today’s turf professionals,” Bernhard Academy education director Sami Strutt said. “These sessions are designed to be practical, engaging, and immediately applicable.”
All sessions will be led by Phil Helmn, MG, program leader at the Bernhard Academy and author of the books The Power of People and the forthcoming The Power of You. His experience in team leadership and personal development ensures that the courses combine real-world insight with practical application.
“Because these courses are delivered online, we’re able to connect with participants all over the world,” Helmn said. “Leadership challenges may differ in context, but the skills are universal — and we’re proud to make them accessible to a global audience.”
The courses are designed for golf course managers and superintendents, deputies and assistants, golf club managers, golf professionals and team leaders or aspiring leaders across the golf industry.
BIGGA members are eligible for a 15 percent discount on the cost of each class.
