Kevin stopped by Olive Glenn Golf Club in Cody, Wyoming, to visit with an old friend, golf course superintendent Mike Kelly.
An Oregon native, Mike's circuitous story in the industry began as a college golfer then assistant golf pro, shifted to the greens crew and liked it. Joined the army as a combat engineer and served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm, got married and had kids, went to school at Oregon State for turfgrass management (what til you hear the list of luminaries in his class at OSU!).
Mike then worked his way from Eugene Country Club to Milwaukee CC, helped grow in Thunderhawk GC, then on to the supt's position at Edina Country Club for 8 years before shifting to a regional job with Bayer Environmental Science, During that time he and his wife visited Wyoming and said "let's go!". Listen in to hear the rest!
