Just got a call from my sis telling me her middle son just passed his PGA Class A Golf Professional proficiency exam today. He's already got his Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, but has been taking additional courses in a program at New Mexico State for certification in Golf Management. (It's sorta the equivalent of a Master's Degree, but has a different designation.) He had finished the course work nearly a year ago, and has been working on his golf game since then, since passing the PGA test and becoming a certified pro was his final requirement. This was his fourth attempt at passing the exam. It has something to do with shooting 36 holes with a 5 handicap...I'm not a golfer so I don't quite know how it works. Anyway, he's now trained to run a golf course, which includes business management, horticulture, and golfing, of course. When he started the program, there was good money to be made in golf course management. Here's hoping that's still true. He's a good kid and will likely do well whatever he ends up doing.
