Sept. 30th-Oct. 2 I had the opportunity to travel to Clayton, North Carolina for the Green Start Academy. The Green Start Academy is an educational conference offered to Assistant Superintendents across the U.S. and Canada by Bayer Environmental Science and John Deere Turf Division. The 2 day event involved lectures, demonstrations, tours, and networking opportunities with the other Assistants in attendance. An application process that included a recommendation from the Superintendent, and an essay was required. The recommendation letter and essay were reviewed by a panel, and enrollment was limited to 50 attendees.
Grady Miller from NC State gave a presentation on Water Management.
Demonstrations were given by Bayer and John Deere representatives.
It was a great opportunity to meet other Assistants across the country.
(L to R: Dustin Peterson, TPC Deere Run, IL; Tyler Casey, Los Angeles Country Club, CA; Mike Mausolf, Oakland Hills Country Club, MI; Josh Cull, Chicago Highlands Club, IL)
It was a great opportunity to learn and meet others in the industry. I was proud to represent Naperville Country Club at this event.
