GREEN SECTION INTERNSHIPS AWARDED FOR 2007
For the tenth year, the USGA Green Section has awarded internships to outstanding turfgrass management students. During 2007, the Green Section will provide the opportunity for 15 students to travel with the Green Section staff on Turf Advisory Service visits. Each intern will travel for one week with an agronomist in his region between the months of May and August. The goal of the internship program is to provide students with a broader view of the golf course industry and the opportunity to learn about golf course maintenance through the perspective of the Green Section agronomists. More information about the internship program can be found on the USGA Green Section Web site at http://www.usga.org/turf/internship/2007_internship.html.
