I took a job as Superintendent of The Nursery Golf and Country Club over the summer, to begin in January. It's all who you know. My Superintendent at Shadow Mountain, Brad Pasula, used to work at The Nursery, and the owners asked if he knew of anyone that would be interested. When Brad came and asked me if I wanted to be a Superintendent, I was shocked. I replied, "I think you're crazy". I then thought about it more and thought I should consider the job. We went to Lacombe for a course tour and to meet the owners of the course. It was a great trip and after looking at everything (not that I knew what I was looking for at the time), and having an interview with the owners, I took the job.
It has been a learning curve already. There are no documents left from the year before, so I am unsure how the course was put to bed, besides the information that the GM has. From what I can see on the greens, they look to be alright with no ice. I have been commuting from Olds College on the weekends to start getting the reels ground.
