Scott Hebert may have graduated from the IAA in May 2016, but he hasn’t stopped learning. In fact, he’s in an applied graduate program of sorts for golf industry leaders, the Quail Institute Fellowship program, which is sponsored jointly by Quail Hollow Club and John Deere.
“It’s a post-college experience like graduate school,” says Hebert, “but it comes with career mentoring and advising.”
