The ability to manage golf course improvement projects is an important role of the superintendent. The golf course is an ever-changing environment and requires constant review and adjustment to maintain proper conditions.

I have had the opportunity to be associated with several renovations,and many smaller in-house projects as well. My wide range of experience in course construction gives me the confidence required to lead a club through any project they wish to complete successfully.

Sunningdale has been undergoing a major renovation with architect Mike DeVries of Traverse City, MI. In 2012 the renovations included building two new greens, ten tee boxes, bunker renovations, oversight of irrigation installation and extensive drainage. Recently the Board of Directors approved finishing renovations on the golf course. To date eight holes have been modified, with the expectation to wrap up construction in the spring of 2016. Meetings with Mr. DeVries, land surveyors, membership, wetland consultants, arborists and construction shapers have been part of my duties at Sunningdale.
