Education

Education has to be the key to all associations and indeed greenkeepers in achieving the highest level of professionalism within our industry, and therefore greater recognition within the world of golf.

FEGGA’s role with formal education is to set the minimum standards of education in agreement with all Member Associations. In 1997 it was agreed that this level would be set at NVQ level 2 or equivalent. FEGGA’s role is to help associations both introduce and reach these standards.

The FEGGA Scholarship Programme for Golf Course Management in Association with Polaris World and Ransomes Jacobsen

Careers in Golf Course Management have become increasingly popular and as a result more education courses have become available which will enhance the individuals. The challenge is finding suitable practical Greenkeeping work experience to complement this formal education.

FEGGA in association with Polaris World and Ransomes-Jacobsen have put together what we believe is the perfect opportunity for a greenkeeper to gain practical experience along with a well structured lecture programme that will have a long-term benefit to any Greenkeeper at the end of the year.

Swan Golf Design Scholarship

Through the support of Swan Golf Designs FEGGA is able to offer Greenkeepers throughout Europe the opportunity of working within a design practice for a period of 8 weeks. 

During the 8 week period the candidate will have the opportunity to work on many of the projects Howard Swan and his team are working on. This will enable better understanding of Golf Course Architecture, both onsite and in the design studio.
