Good morning!

I would like to introduce myself as the new Golf Course Superintendent here at Deer Creek Golf Club.  I am extremely excited to be back in the Kansas City golf market and even more so at such a known and respected facility as Deer Creek.

A little background on myself so you can get to know me better, I am a graduate of Iowa State Universities Horticulture department with an emphasis in Turf Management.  Since graduation I have been a Golf Course Superintendent / General Manager at Royal Meadows in Kansas City, MO and the Superintendent at Ames Golf and Country Club in Ames, Iowa prior to my move down here.  Additionally during my time at AGCC I achieved my Certification through GCSAA, the highest honor a Superintendent can acquire.

I am proud to now call Overland Park and Deer Creek my new home.

Short update on the course, we have several projects that we are working on this fall, the two main ones will be starting this next month.  They include the overhaul of our Irrigation Pump-House starting November 11th and our bridge work throughout the golf course.  I will have updates as we get these projects underway.
