THE AWARD:

Expand your experience by meeting and competing with the best and you could soon be heading to the USA on an all-expenses-paid study trip of a lifetime.

If you are a student greenkeeper, this superb opportunity to further your career could be yours by entering the Toro Student Greenkeeper of the Year Award.

Acknowledged as the highlight of the student greenkeepers’ year, success in the competition will book you on an eight week trip stateside to study the latest American turf management techniques, with the chance to tour Toro headquarters and join the BIGGA visit to the GCSAA Golf Industry Show in Orlando in February 2011.

The two runners-up will be invited to attend the ‘Continue to Learn’ Education Programme during Harrogate Week 2011.

To be eligible for the competition, you must be nominated by your college and course tutor and your entry sanctioned by your college or training provider.
