-The First Entry-

Thank you for visiting my blog which I have created to keep my golfers at Warnimont informed, and in order to present my ideas, goals, problems, and accomplishments, as I journey through my golf management career. I have recently finished my first year of the Rutgers two year golf turf program, and I'm excited to be back to the course and apply the knowledge I have gained while I was away. I have been the greens keeper of Warnimont GC Since August of 2008. Since I have been at Warnimont, my crew and I have been able to maintain beautiful greens, renovate much needed irrigation coverage to the greens, repair 6 out of the 7 leaks which I inherited, address the sclerotina homoecarpa (dollar spot) issue which was resolved, and return irrigation to the tees for the first time in 10-15 yrs. With my maintenance man layed off I have not only taken on the challenge maintaining the course but also the equipment. My first project since I've returned from Rutgers was to reshape the fairways, adding aesthetics and character to the course and giving it a much needed fresh new look. The next problem I plan to address is to fix the tee signs which have been vandalized, weathered, and dilapidated. During the off season I have constructed new signs and am hoping that we can get them installed in a timely fashion.

The greens have come out of the harsh Wisconsin winter beautifully with virtually no damage. Hopefully this will be a sign of good conditions and golf at Warnimont.
