In October of last year, I had the great fortune and pleasure to start a three-and-a-half-month internship at Nikanti. I knew I had the opportunity to spend the Danish off-season abroad and wanted to find the best possible opportunity; one in which I was able to be around the cutting edge of golf course maintenance and to try to learn from someone not afraid to experiment and use all the information available to us as greenkeepers.

When looking to move on to a new management role at a new facility, which do you think is more beneficial to your career? Leaving the turf neatly trimmed and green or ensuring the turf performance and course conditions remain in top condition long after you have left?
