Here's a look into men's golf student-athlete and business management major Kenneth Tuttle's (Gorham, Maine) internship experience at the New England PGA.
ECGULLS: Describe your overall internship experience.
TUTTLE: Overall, my internship with the New England PGA has been a very positive experience. This internship is well known for being a place to start when pursuing a career in golf. I have been able to make great connections as we travel all over New England to host events at different clubs. Many head professionals have been pleased with how well we operate these junior events. I have been able to do some work during professional events as well, so I have seen tournament golf for all ages, and know what is expected at all levels.
