Golf Management student Matt Keding on the practice tee at Oglebay Resort.
The Golf Management specialization is intended for the student who wants to combine athletic abilities in golf with career opportunities in the golfing industry. As lifestyle changes include the need for more physical activity, golf courses and golfing facilities have also increased in number.
The increased interest in golf has also resulted in a demand for personnel to operate golf shops, maintain golf courses, teach golfing skills, promote golf facilities and organize/conduct golf events.
