Agronomics & Philosophy
Employees are at the top of the hierarchy of any successful operation. Communication is vital and involving everyone in the daily planning is necessary for a smooth operation. I engage in conversation with all employees, inquire about their history and goals in the employment, which allows me to work with their strengths.
Agronomically, I strive to provide the best conditions possible without sacrificing turf health. I reach this level through a unique combination of practices developed over the years. I believe in a minimalist approach, meaning player satisfaction is especially as important as providing long term agronomic success.
Event Preparation
While everyday course prep on your home facility can be demanding, the effort required to prepare for special events adds even more importance to how the course is maintained. For member events, this can mean planning ahead weeks and months to ensure proper results and conditions. Yet for bigger events, it takes enormous planning and many volunteers to create what is delivered. Even though such large events are out of the ordinary for normal clubs, you can still learn a plethora of information that can be scaled to your specific operation and how to improve preparations and playability for any event.
Over the past several years I have had the opportunity to volunteer with preparing and hosting multiple large-scale events, including the Tour Championship, BMW Championship, John Deere Classic, NCAA Men's Championship, and more.
