In this episode of The Ladder, Ryan Kaczor, assistant superintendent at the Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, discusses working for superintendents like John Zimmers, both at Inverness and Oakmont, and Steve Cook at Oakland Hills, and how those experiences are helping him prepare for his first crack at being a head superintendent.
A graduate of Michigan State, Ryan also talks about the recent restoration at Inverness, one of Donald Ross’s favorite designs, and how contemporary architect Andrew Green brought the 1918 classic back to its roots. Ryan also talks about how the challenges involved with completing the restoration just ahead of this year’s U.S. Junior Amateur, and efforts under way to bring the 2021 Solheim Cup to northwestern Ohio.
