Well, it’s been a while. My only excuse is that I’ve been too busy to write, which is true – due to the fact that I am working long, but good, hours. Along with these long hours, my commute home takes over an hour, so it leaves me with only a few spare hours in the evening to socialize with my roommates (my two best friends) and to make phone calls to family and friends before hitting the lights at around 10:00pm. Oh, and of course I make time for the Stanley Cup playoffs. (Go Canucks!) Rather than turning this into a rather lengthy post, I will keep it relatively short and hopefully this could turn into a consistent trend with updates about my new job at Mississaugua Golf and Country Club (MGCC).

School finished in early April and I will be graduating on the Dean’s list which I am proud of. I took one day off after school to move out of Guelph and into Toronto before starting work.
Work started off quick – aerification on the greens took place, many new staff were starting and training became a daily trend, and fertilizer and chemical applications were underway.
The Environmental Coordinator (Spray Technician), Phil Song, acquired a new position as an assistant superintendent after 10 exceptional years at MGCC – he will be greatly missed. Starting in mid-May our new Environmental Coordinator, Ernie Bendzak, will take over, but for the time being I will be filling in with our green and fairway applications. I am extremely excited to meet Ernie and can’t wait to have another turf graduate on our course and grounds team at MGCC – it will be a great summer. Ernie brings a lot of experience to our team and he will be a great asset in the years to come – welcome to the team Ernie!
