The previous Director of Executive Golf Maintenance left in January, Mitch Leininger.

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.
Did I read that right?? The job requirements were a 4-year agronomy degree and this guy was hired with an Associate's degree? Really, counting to 4 only requires the fingers on one hand
