The GCSAA approved The Experience at FarmLinks’ programs for continuing education units through their external education program.
“We’re excited to be an affiliate member of the GCSAA and to be able to provide quality programs that promote professional development,” says Erle Fairly, president of FarmLinks. “Continuing education is imperative for the success of superintendents – and for their golf facilities. And it’s important to our team that the solutions-oriented programs we offer create meaningful, educational experiences and benefit the thousands of guests who visit our property each year.”
As of August 2008, golf course superintendents who attend The Experience at FarmLinks will receive 0.45 education points for the Agrium Advanced Technologies’ fertilizer technologies presentation and 0.30 points for the On the Course Tour, equaling 0.75 CEU points. So, for golf course superintendents who have never been through the 2.5-day Experience – or for those looking for an opportunity to gain firsthand insight into the latest and greatest materials and methods available to the industry – now is the ideal time to sign up for the program.
“FarmLinks’ relationship with the GCSAA’s external education program creates more opportunities for superintendents to further their education," says Blake Garrett, experience manager. "Additionally, this relationship solidifies our mission here at Farmlinks and allows us to continue to grow and develop our programs as the nation’s premier source for ‘hands-on’ course maintenance information,”
