Do they have a manager to examine their work?
All Executive Course (owned by the District) maintenance is contracted out, under the supervision and direction of Donald Jones.

The previous Director of Executive Golf Maintenance left in January, Mitch Leininger. I'm not sure it was relevant, in an interview with Don Wiley, he claimed to have a Degree in Turf Management from Penn State ... he did not. Also, the complaints about Executive Course maintenance were off the charts.

The new guy was hired without a 4 year degree in Agronomy, as was required by the Job Posting.

Not that I'm questioning that the District hires only the best and most qualified.
