|||||||||||||||||||
Description Working outside on a beautiful stretch of green grass in the sunlight, ahhh! It sounds great, but a golf course technicians job is not all play. Golf has become the fastest growing recreational sport in North America and the rise in players has created the need for more workers. Golf course technicians are involved with all facets of golf course maintenance and management. They work outdoors under the direction of a supervisor where they will work alone or with others. They perform various maintenance duties from cutting and trimming the grass, to soil testing. Golf course technicians also use fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides and they must have a good working knowledge of these potentially hazardous materials as well as be aware of any chemical sensitivities or allergies that they might have. They must also have physical stamina to do the outdoor work and lifting required as well as an interest in and understanding of the identification and treatment of turf grass diseases. |
