In this special episode of Frankly Speaking highlighting the The First Green program, Frank revisits his conversation with Jeff Gullickson, the “Godfather” of the First Green program. The passion that Jeff discusses lays the foundation for the current program managed by Leann Cooper, the Director of First Green And Workforce Development at the GCSAA.
Finally, Frank catches up with Muhammed Ali, the former GC Superintendent at Morton Golf and now the Parks manager at Southgate Recreation and Park District in Sacramento, CA. Muhammed discusses his background in centuries of farming in Pakistan and bringing the First Green program to Pakistan, where he was able to inspire some local residents and plant the seed for a new generation!
