Congratulations to Curtis Keller Achieves Class A Status from GCSAA
/Congratulations to Curtis Keller, Superintendent at Buffalo Ridge, at Big Cedar, for achieving Class A status from Golf Course Superintendent's Association of America (GCSAA).
Achieving Class A status takes a combination formal education, experience and continuing education. A brief description of the program is below. For more information visit https://www.gcsaa.org/about-gcsaa/membership/membership-classifications/class-a-membership
Formal education + golf course superintendent experience + continuing education = 20 points plus proof of possessing a valid pesticide license
First, identify your level of formal education, which dictates the minimum number of years of experience you must have as a golf course superintendent. A value is assigned to each level of formal education.
Then, review the Class A Sliding Scale for Eligibility If you have met the minimum number of years of experience based on your level of formal education, add the point value associated with your formal education and your years of experience to determine how many, if any, education points you must attain/document in order to have a total of 20 points or more. The education points can be from sessions and seminars that you took previously or that you will take in the future. You must also provide proof of possessing a valid pesticide license/certification or pass the GCSAA IPM Exam.
Congratulations again to Curtis for completing this achievement!
