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 to accelerate growth in areas of greatest necessity.  Interns will work closely with the agronomy team and will be key players 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 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 training

·       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 daily planning and scheduling of agronomic plan to improve awareness and understanding of concepts that produce championship conditions
