Welcome to Episode 112 of the Reel Turf Techs Podcast! Today, we're diving into the world of turf management with Andy White, Equipment Manager at Bluemound Golf and Country Club in Wauwatosa, WI.
Bluemound, a private 18-hole gem, serves as Andy's playground, where he operates as the lone tech in the shop, occasionally joined by the crew for some extra hands.
Andy's journey is a unique one, blending his long-time background as a carpenter and logistics expert at FedEx into the dynamic realm of the golf shop. But don't let the seeming disparity fool you – Andy's early days spent tinkering with his dad and teeing off with his brothers set the stage for his seamless transition into the world of golf course mechanics. And hey, his welding skills didn't hurt either!
In this episode, discover the tools that Andy always has by his side, explore his diverse taste in guitar playing, and unravel the challenges he faced during his swift rise from assistant technician to Equipment Manager in just four months. Plus, get the inside scoop on Andy's role in hosting the Wisconsin EM meeting at his shop this month.
