Green Start Academy – World-Class Training for Assistant Superintendents
Green Start Academy is a leadership and development program co-hosted by Bayer, John Deere and our brand-new partner as of 2021, Rain Bird! This year, we are excited to announce that the program will be taking place at the historic Pinehurst Resort – host to some of golf’s most prestigious tournaments.
Since 2006, the goal of this program has been to help assistant superintendents build a strong foundation for their careers as well as to support the future of golf courses and the entire golf industry by offering growth through networking, professional development courses and interactive peer groups.
This year’s program will feature educational and mentoring sessions from some of the most respected superintendents and leaders in the industry, including Carlos Arraya, Lukas Harvey, Matt Faurbach, Pat Finlen, Dan Meersman, Grant Murphy and more! Bob Farren, VP of Grounds and Golf Course Maintenance at Pinehurst, will also play a role in this year’s event.
