Through formal agronomy education and my own execution, I have developed a set of programs that are capable of consistently delivering firm, fast and green conditions. These sound agronomics are a combination of shade mitigation, soil conditioning and nutrient inputs. While much of our industry is science-based, there is still very much an “art” required for providing a world-class course daily. I possess the talent to balance the science and art needed for success in our industry.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Every detail matters – no matter how small it is. The golf experience at a premier facility should be comprehensive. In addition to superb playability, the course should be aesthetically pleasing around every corner. I have a strong dedication to monitoring and caring for all details on property, from perfectly square tees to properly trimmed sprinklers to tree plans. It’s also key to understand the nuance and detail of the original design of the course, using this as a way to enhance master planning and tree management.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
It is important for golf courses to be stewards of the environment and showcase how golf actually benefits the surrounding properties and species. Under my leadership and organization, a plan was formed and work was diligently completed to obtain a distinction of Environmental Excellence for golf courses and was granted the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Certification.
