## Resource

On this week’s EarthWorks Podcast, Kevin reconnects with longtime friend Jeff Gullikson, CGCS, to explore how the First Green program first took root in the late 1990s. As the golf course superintendent at Kalispel Golf & Country Club in Spokane, Washington, Jeff balances running a 128-year-old course with family life and coaching high school golf. Along the way, he’s helped grow First Green into a meaningful bridge between golf courses and education. This conversation dives into legacy, the evolution of the industry, and the story behind one of the Pacific Northwest’s oldest clubs.
