Throughout my 15 years of experience as a Golf Course Superintendent I have approached each opportunity with passion, dedication, enthusiasm, and creativity.  Having experienced budgets of all sizes, I have always focused on maximizing efficiency.  I have learned that regardless budget size, maximizing efficiency is the key to stretching my potential and creating conditions beyond expectations. I believe in quality; clean, green, healthy turfgrass with flowing symmetrical, artistic lines of site, and superior eye for detail.  I am a positive, effective leader with the ability to motivate staffs.  Most recent, I was able to transform a negative work culture into a fun and productive one, transforming roughly 12 acres of unsightly or missing turf into the aforementioned quality turfgrass, utilizing less than one full growing season.  I am always on board for listening to Owner's, Committee's, and General Manager's visions; a true team player who always considers the club's bottom line. Having long passed my goal of becoming a Golf Course Superintendent, I have recently decided to set my sights on the CGCS process, a delegation I admittedly did not consider perusing until recently as I entered my 40s.  I would like to open that process in my next opportunity.

      I’d like to pose this question what is a horticulturist? A horticulturist is an agricultural professional who helps grow plants. These specialized professionals apply an integrative approach involving botany, biology, and environmental science to improve cultivation techniques. For instance, a horticulturist might alter farming conditions to increase plant yields or help a plant develop resistance to diseases.             I have been in this industry since 1989 when I began my own part-time business that later turned into a bigger business which included design work, irrigation, and general maintenance that I eventually sold in 2013.  In 2013 I went back to school and got my associate in science in horticulture and graduated in 2016 from Trident Technical College while maintaining the dean’s list every semester.  I took a year off then in 2017 I got my bachelor’s in science on -line in agricultural education with an emphasis in professional services and graduated with a 3.88 GPA from North Carolina A & T State University in 2019.  While at North Carolina A&T State University I was a member of the honor society.   I got my degree while working full time and going to school full time for the South Carolina State Parks system as a building and grounds supervisor.  After leaving the parks system I went to work for The Citadel as the assistant grounds supervisor where I oversaw maintaining the parade field from mowing, fertilizing, aerating, weed management and Irrigation.  I also helped manage the crews in the department while doing flower designs and graduation plant setups.  While I was doing all that I began getting my master’s in science in leadership at The Citadel and graduated in 2022 with a GPA of 4.0.              During my career I have obtained and maintained non-commercial pesticide license for turf and ornamentals.  In order maintain my pesticide license I continue to take classes either in person or online to keep myself up to date on new and improving technology and techniques.    I am also a professional certified landscaper through Clemson.  My degree in horticultural allowed me to obtain an athletic fields maintenance certificate, a sustainable landscape certificate, landscape maintenance certificate and several irrigation certificates.              My degree in leadership has allowed me to be able to problem solve with employees and become a better manager and mentor.  It also has allowed me to be able to identify different problems associated in the horticultural and landscape industry.  With this master’s degree in horticultural science from your institution will allow me to understand different aspects of the horticultural industry that I have not already learned from my previous degrees or on the job experiences.              I look forward to hearing back from the admission committee and hope this statement reflects my experiences and allow me to get in your program. I want to leave you with this final quote. “Landscape consists in the multiple, overlapping intricacies and forms that exist in a given space at a moment in time”. Annie Dillard             Sincerely yours, Timothy Warren Farmer MS. Leadership

I am looking forward to getting back into the golf industry. Thank you for your consideration.

I have 30 years experience as a superintendent. I have intelligence, passion, personality, and superior work ethic. I will quickly adapt to your situation and lead your course .  Please shoot me an email and tell me your situation. I guarantee  I will be a great superintendent for you.

I am currently seeking a new  job in the industry. I have over 40 years of experience in the field with over 30 as an assistant superintendent. This business has been my lifelong passion and I hope to continue my journey with a new challenge.

Looking to step away from college and apply my knowledge and experience in golf course maintenance to help create great playing conditions and an amazing golf environment! I am finishing out my second semester of college, and I've found so far that have learned far more by getting out and working on golf courses than I have in the classroom, and I'm looking to apply what I've learned and continue my hands-on education. I'm willing to travel anywhere in the U.S. and beyond, and I'm excited to live and work someplace new!

I'm looking for an opportunity to get back to what I love most, which was golf course maintenance. I've been in the industry from 2011 to 2019 at Sea Island Resort at St. Simons Island, GA and have developed the following skills: full redesign and renovation experience at the Plantation course, leadership skills managing 25+ personnel, learned time dedication in the workplace, skilled in application precision involving calibration and applying pesticides at the proper rate. 

Second-year Turfgrass Management student, future Groundskeeper or Superintendent. My passion for sports and working outdoors brought me to North Carolina State University, where I am working on my AAS in Turfgrass Management. Last semester I completed the Turf and Their Uses program, which covered both warm and cool season grasses, disease management, and turfgrass maintenance. The most valuable lesson I have learned from NCSU has been the importance of learning the different characteristics of turfgrass species. I knew I wanted to work on an athletic field or a golf course, so I have enjoyed learning everything from soil science and plant ID to ornamental insects and pesticide uses. My class in Professional Development has provided me with great insights for a successful career in Turfgrass Management. My previous experiences serving 10 years in the United States Marine Corps will allow me to capitalize on several useful skills such as team management, leadership, and problem solving under pressure. I look forward to building on these skills within the Turfgrass industry and the new opportunities it will bring.
