GCSAA honors certified superintendents
No club, course or company can escape today’s workplace challenges for the golf course superintendent. Employers must find innovative ways to recruit, assess, train and develop employees in order to stay competitive and maintain successful businesses. The GCSAA certification program can play such a role.
Implemented in 1971, the GCSAA Certification Program was designed to help superintendents substantiate their work and accomplishments and be recognized for their expanding knowledge of the industry through their continual professional development. Since its inception, this voluntary program has bestowed the professional designation Certified Golf Course Superintendent (CGCS) on 3,137 superintendents, of which 1,120 continue to be currently active in the industry. Recipients of this designation have met the highest standard of professional excellence through experience, education, testing and performance in the profession of golf course management.
To maintain this level of excellence, certification status must be renewed every five years with 150 hours of continual training and professional development. Of those currently active, 331 have retained their certification status for more than 15 years, 258 have retained it for more than 20 years, 79 have celebrated their 25th anniversary and 30 have reached the 30-year plus mark.
GCSAA welcomed the opportunity to honor all Certified Golf Course Superintendents at the annual Certification Luncheon and Business Meeting held Feb. 1 during the GCSAA Education Conference and Golf Industry Show in Orlando. The 2008 luncheon, sponsored by Syngenta Professional Products, honored all CGCSs for their commitment to continuing education. Special recognition was given to individuals having renewed their certification for the third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh times, applauding their years of dedication to lifelong learning. Members of the newly certified Class of 2007 were recognized and presented their certification credentials.
