The Minikahda Club Grounds Department has been host to 8 trainees in the past 11 years. Trainees have come from Scotland, South Africa, France, Germany (3) and this year we hosted a Trainee from China. This is actually this trainees second tour to The Minikahda Club. Hao Wang, aka Tony, first joined us in 2008 as a complete greenhorn, but we enjoyed Tony so much in 2008 and he enjoyed his experience as well so he came back to learn from us for a 2nd time. International turfgrass students interested in an opportunity to learn here at The Minikahda Club or in the United States can contact Communicating for Agriculture, (www.caep.org) in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. They can assist you with placement as well as the application process. We really enjoy the experience the International trainees bring to our staff and it can become an excellent learning experience for both parties. With the friendships I have made I also see it as a great way to set up my future world golf tour ;)
