So it has been quite some time since our last update to the blog and we are going to give it another go with the new team we now have and the upcoming renovation looming on the horizon. I want to first introduce you to our current assistant superintendents. Notice that I did not say new as they have both been here for quite some time now.
First Assistant Superintendent: Brad Nixon. Brad came to us from the Landing course here at Reynolds Lake Oconee where he was the spray tech for a short time and later the Second Assistant there. Before that he did an internship at the Preserve course during their renovation. Brad got his degree from Piedmont Technical College in Greenwood, SC.
Second Assistant Superintendent: David Fleming. David graduated from UGA with a degree in Turfgrass Management. While in school, he did internships at Ridgewood CC in NJ, Columbia CC in Maryland and Atlanta CC. After graduation he went to Atlanta Country Club as the Second Assistant for two years before making his way to Reynolds as the Second Assistant at our Oconee Course. David then proceeded to get out of the business and work as a farm manager on his family's potato farm in Parrish, FL for six years before coming to Great Waters in June of 2017.
Spray Tech: Daniel Mendsen. Daniel recently graduated from Georgia Southwestern State University where he played four years of soccer, and majored in Exercise Science and Wellness. He previously worked at Lane Creek Country Club in Bishop, GA on the maintenance staff for five years. Daniel did intern here at Great Waters in the summer of 2017 before going back to school to finish his degree.
