TurfNet has been a pioneer in the golf turf industry since 1994, offering an online platform to help superintendents do their jobs better, faster and more efficiently before most people even had an email address.
TurfNet in January will begin its 13th year of offering Web-based education in conjunction with Brandt and BASF.
The TurfNet University schedule begins Jan. 8 when Anthony Williams, CGCS, of the Four Seasons Resort in Irving, Texas, kicks off the new year with "Jumpstarting your career in 2020."
Williams will discuss how setting career goals for 2020 and beyond and working to attain them can help ensure career longevity.
When it comes to facing - and overcoming - adversity, Williams is something of an expert.
Nearly six years ago, in a span of just more than two months he lost his stepbrother in a car accident, his wife suffered - and survived - a massive heart attack and Williams himself underwent emergency open-heart surgery. About a year later, his position at Stone Mountain Golf Club near
Atlanta was eliminated, leaving him without a job.
His presentation in January will include how to establish realistic standards and how to go about working toward achieving them. He also will talk about how to market yourself, from self-promotion and public relations strategies in your current position and resume-writing and other career advice tips designed to help you realize your next opportunity.
Other presenters throughout the year will include Bill Kreuser, Ph.D., of Nebraska, Beth Guertal, Ph.D., of Auburn, Brad Klein, Ph.D., of The Golf Channel and Golf Advisor, Bruce Martin, Ph.D., of Clemson University (retired), Frank Rossi, Ph.D., of Cornell University and many more.
