During these interactions you will be encouraged to ask any questions and will become exposed to our decision making process. We look to try to bring out the strengths and improve on any weaknesses in our interns while preparing them for a successful future in the turf industry. We are currently in the process of resurfacing our greens from Pennlinks to A1/A4 bentgrass. We will begin doing multiple green complexes per year and our interns will be involved in all aspects of this project. This project will all be done in-house working closely with Fazio Golf Course Design. In preperation for this project, in 2014, we built a 25,000 square foot bentgrass nursery on property.
