The Certificate Program at Penn State is offered to Golf Superintendents around the country. It's a "course", not a program. If I'm not mistaken, it's an online course that costs about $5000.

If that's indeed what he has, it's a long way away from a Turf Management Degree, from the #1 Agronomy program in the world.
I rarely play execs, but had a few hours today and played gray fox for the first time. Not a bad layout as these course go and I liked the fact that there were adjacent homes on only 2 holes. The greens actually ran fairly true and fast, but......as the old saying goes, you can paint dirt green, but in the end, it's still dirt.
