Turf management is just what it says, however its not relegated to the golf course industry. It also includes athletic fields, parks and recreation as well. I was a Grounds Manager at a large high school in IL some years ago and that was turf management at its finest. Most think that you just cut grass and line fields but there is so much more to it. Knowing the correct growing habits of plants, maintenance practices for turf, enormous environmental considerations in regards to fertilization and pesticide practices. I would recommend that you take a look at it as a career as it is very fulfilling when it is done right.

go to this website and it will tell you all you need to know about golf course turf management.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turf_manage...

it also shows you other types of turf management (baseball fields, football fields, etc)

The guy who maintains the golf course is called the golf course superintendent and they have a website you can go to:

http://www.gcsaa.org/

They have info there where you can learn more about the subject.  They also have seminars around the country where you can go learn about this career.  I think they also may have online courses that you can take
