Golf
Another thing I have learned from the
Approach to the 3rd green
after Kerry defeated Cork in last year’s Munster final also,
I might add, I’ve learned so many
different aspects of golf course management. Whether it is a complete green construction, irrigation repair and maintenance, or staffing issues, it’s all part and parcel of learning the industry inside out. The thing I love out here is that you are exposed to everything. The superintendents here in the USA seem to throw you in at the deep end and see how you cope. Once they spot your areas of weakness, they will work with you to set your own personal standards and goals, and support you in becoming a
better person, and a better person for the job.
Zach has taught me numerous things since I arrived here, which I know will stand to me in good stead in the coming years and follow through into the next chapter of my life in this industry. I have been lucky enough to come
across some good superintendents along the way, from Alan McDonnell in Adare Manor and David Mcindoe in Killarney Golf Club who, amongst other things, taught me as a young teenager that no matter how small or irrelevant a job may appear it is worth doing correctly, to my current boss, Zach.
superintendent is to set your standards and expectations as high as they can be
In June of this year, I will have the honour of being able to add a US Open to my CV, as I will be volunteering at The Olympic Club here in San Francisco. In addition to this, I will be proud to have the opportunity to add my role as an Assistant Superintendent for the USGA Girls’ Junior Championship, which will be held here at Lake Merced in July. With these achievements under my belt, and a wealth of new knowledge and insight into the industry, I have no doubt that the next chapter in my story promises to be even more interesting, exciting and challenging. I look forward to it!
