I have had the privilege to work with Robert over the past five years at the Sea Pines Resort.  Acting as the Assistant Superintendent, Robert provides one-on-one interaction with my interns as they are placed at his club.  His friendly approach and devotion to offer the same devotion he once received as an intern is what makes these relationships unique for the students that have made this most important commitment in developing their careers.

 

Robert’s personal development in the turfgrass industry makes it effortless to send students his way. His relationships with staff at PGA Tour stops around the country, along with his own networking skills have allowed these interns the opportunity to volunteer at tournament sites, which in turn, have defined these student’s trips to the US.

 

I will continue to support Robert’s staff of employees with these notable interns and look forward to witnessing their growth year after year.
