Ryan Kraushofer, CGCS

Local students from Westminster Elementary School will visit Westminster National Golf Course on Thursday, October 19 for a First Green Field Trip. This is an excellent opportunity to engage with elementary school students and introduce them to the golf industry, specifically geared towards turf management. Using STEM education guidelines, students will learn some of the daily aspects of taking care of a golf course.

Volunteers Needed! Host superintendent Ryan Kraushofer is requesting volunteers to help with  this fun day of mentorship and education. Please contact Ryan directly at westminsternationalgc@yahoo.com if you would like to volunteer.
