Seasonal Intern

The internship program will offer a wide variety of exposure, as we look to integrate personnel into all facets of golf course maintenance.  We aim to tailor the program to the specific needs of the student, with the sole intention of accelerating growth in the areas of greatest necessity.  Interns will work closely with the agronomy team and will be an integral part in the success of the golf course.  Experience and training will include but is not limited to:

·       Day to day maintenance (mowing of all surfaces, course set-up, rolling etc.)

·       General turfgrass management and cultivation on all surfaces

·       Maintenance of 007 Bentgrass and Mach 1 Bermudagrass greens

·       Precision moisture management of putting greens with use of TDR’s on C3 and C4 surfaces

·       IPM (application of fertilizer and pesticides, calibration of sprayers and spreaders, documentation and planning)

·       Irrigation troubleshooting and repair

·       Hands on HDPE welding and fusing

·       Access to all material and water quality testing, with educational discussions on the in-depth decisions that go into building a golf course

·       Equipment maintenance (checking HOC, grinding reels and bedknives, etc.)

·       Small crew management

·       Involved in the daily planning and scheduling of agronomic plans to improve awareness and understanding of concepts that produce championship conditions
