I don't understand how UMD is hard to get into but then a bunch of students major in Golf Course Management. [/quote]

PP again from physics family who doesn't like it herself.  I actually understand this use of a physics requirement.  And I have an in-law who got this degree from a different university in another state.

The Golf Management degree is basically a business management degree with a sports focus and an ag school type focus on crop science (grass).

Once you have a four year degree, you have to have science distribution requirements. Physics is logical here because of the nature of golf.  Terrain design plus the golf ball as a struck object.  Chemistry might ne theoretically useful for understanding the chemicals you work with but assuming they all come preformulated, the terrain and biomechanics are way more central. Biology usually covers things that a course manager doesn't control...like photosynthesis.
