This past fall the students were treated to a highly motivating and refreshing pair of speakers whom both have fantastic international experience. The first speaker was Mark Kolentsis who is currently finishing his Direct Field Study this winter, for the degree program. Mark has worked at golf courses in Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, and across Canada. Mark's humbling insight into working abroad opened the eyes to many students in the turf program to expand there horizons with the possibilities that are attainable.
The next speaker was Jared Speake who is working at Glencoe Golf and Country Club along side Mark Kolentsis. Jared is from Perth Australia and has worked at a couple TPC courses in the States, with one being the TPC Scottsdale course.
In the early part of the second semester we were treated to a discussion on investing in yourself from a brilliant young superintendent from Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club, Mitch Davidson. Mitch brought a strong leadership tool to the students to become successful in their careers, and in life.
