Philosophy
Advocate for the proper balance of agronomic principles that will result in healthy turf with excellent playability. A key component to a sound golf course is superb communication and leadership not only with the crew, but with members and club officials as well. While specifics of maintaining turf can vary greatly by property and budget, the ability to balance inputs and factors is of utmost importance. This is achieved through years of experience and a desire to meet and exceed member expectations, while at the same time understanding the importance of communicating effectively the happenings related to course conditions.
