(VIENNA, VA) – Billy Casper Golf (BCG) – the largest owner-operator of golf courses, country clubs and resorts in America – is now offering its superintendents and assistant superintendents opportunities to enhance their business expertise through the company’s new Superintendent Business Institute (SBI).
Recently launched on BCG-U, an online career development and training resource unique to the golf industry, SBI is comprised of three 10-hour programs, each qualifying for Golf Course Superintendents Association of America continuing education points.
“It’s no secret our profession has evolved dramatically,” says Bryan Bielecki, Vice President of Agronomy of BCG. “Superintendents spend their time much differently nowadays, and the need for solid personnel management, leadership, financial and communication skills is greater than ever.”
