Golf is increasingly becoming corporate America�s favorite pastime, and with the recent rise of �Tigermania� more and more juniors are joining the golfing ranks. Students who enrolled this fall will earn a $3,000 annual inaugural scholarship for up to four years.

A recent article in Corporate & Incentive Travel (December 1999), points out that �because the game is so embedded into the incentive and meeting culture, you would think that planners at incentive houses, corporations, and independent companies would know the rudiments of putting together tournaments and other golf events.� In fact, many planners have yet to learn the basics of organizing golf-related events.

Students who pursue the Golf Management concentration will gain knowledge and prepare to manage a country club, organize major tournaments or own a golf course. In addition to management skills, Johnson & Wales University�s unique hands-on components provide students with the opportunity to play golf and better their game.
Within the Golf Management concentration, students will be offered courses in Golf Course Design and Construction, Golf Operations Management, Turfgrass Management, and Private Club Management.

�Industry partners, including Arnold Palmer Golf Management, Doral Resort & Spa, International Links of Miami, and Miami Shores Country Club, have committed to make this program relevant to industry while affording graduates the opportunity to pursue a career in an exciting, growth industry,� added McGregor.
