Staley Farms Assistant Golf Course Superintendent: Grant Sherwood

I would like to introduce the blogosphere to Staley Farm's new Assistant Superintendent, Grant Sherwood.  Grant is already proving himself as a vital asset to our team and golf course though he has only been here for a month.

Being a native of Platte City, MO, Grant attended many years of summer golf camps at Shiloh Springs Golf Course.  This led to becoming a member of their course maintenance team and a passion for turfgrass management.  Grant took this passion to the University of Missouri where he completed his degree in Plant Science-Turfgrass Management.  He took advantage of internships at TPC Southwind, Trump National Bedminster, and Austin Country Club as well as volunteering at several PGA events.  Straight out of college, Grant accepted a job as Assistant Superintendent at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, TX where his team hosted the AT&T Byron Nelson.  After Trinity, he followed his passion for bentgrass to an Assistant position at Austin Country Club.  Side note..........wanting to grow bentgrass in Texas is nuts!!  A good, confident kind of nuts though.  This April Grant accepted the Assistant Superintendent position here at Staley Farms, a course that he has always held in high regard.  He is excited to be a part of the team and the pursuit for constant improvement.
