Our three-part “Teaching Turf in the Sand Hills” series focuses on a dual greenkeeping internship run by Kyle Hegland, superintendent at Sand Hills Golf Club, and Jared Kalina, superintendent at Ballyneal Golf and Hunt Club. Interns spend several weeks at both of these world-class golf courses, learning the art and science of turf management in the unique landscapes of Mullen, Nebraska, and Holyoke, Colorado.
In our third and final episode, Kyle and Jared reflect on two sets of challenges: the turf desiccation brought on by cold, dry winters and the labor shortages in small towns like Mullen and Holyoke as well as in the golf course industry as a whole. We explore how Sand Hills and Ballyneal have built thriving maintenance operations in the face of these difficulties. In addition, we delve into the story of Intern #3.
Produced by Cameron Hurdus, Garrett Morrison, and Andy Johnson.
