After years of planning and finalizing a partnership with golf course architect Andy Staples, the project will kick off with a full turf removal in late spring. When asked what advice he’d offer superintendents considering a renovation, Nate didn’t hesitate: communication is everything. Years before breaking ground, he began educating members on the “why” behind the project. He led tours across the course, highlighting problem areas and even using a soil profiler to reveal the real challenges beneath the surface. From drainage improvements and earthmoving to a much-needed irrigation upgrade, Nate shares how transparency and preparation helped align expectations and build support for change. Coming off one of Florida’s toughest winters in recent memory, he’s also hoping for a little cooperation from Mother Nature as the work begins. Nate brings clarity, energy, and real-world insight to this conversation, offering valuable takeaways for any turf manager facing the challenge of reconstruction.
