I built my first golf course when I was 12 years old
It was on a sandy beach in northern Wisconsin, near Rome. I tended to it every weekend. 9 holes that you could play twice, to a sand green, all played with a short wedge. I built retaining walls. Transplanted pine trees. Even had an island tee from the dock. My dad, having seen my dedication, asked me if I knew that some people actually design golf courses for a living... at that moment, I knew what I wanted to do with my life - BECOME A GOLF COURSE ARCHITECT!
sUSTAINABILITY sTATEMENT
Resource efficiency has never been more attainable than now, nor has it been more important. Water, electricity, fuel, and labor costs are often needlessly wasted at golf facilities, and we at Staples Golf make a commitment to increasing sustainability in every one of our projects. Simply put - it's the responsible thing to do.
