“If you could describe the experience of working as a Golf Course superintendent in one word, what would it be and why?”
“Solutionist.” As any Superintendent knows, every day on the course you will be confronted with a multitude of problems and only YOU can take responsibility in solving them to the best of your ability.
You will use your education, common sense, and your emotions to be the best “Solutionist”, for your members, crew, family, community, environment, and yes just for all the world around you!
You ARE as great as an “Oracle” from ancient Greece.
Solutionist – noun
‘a solver of problems’ especially: one who makes a practice or occupation of solving puzzles
