for their significant team contribution at Ruth Park Golf Course. Throughout the year, they have transformed the course with multiple construction projects in addition to their regular maintenance responsibility. Their work in creating a driving range, establishing wildlife habitat, designing and implementing cart systems and developing greens and new tees has transformed the golf course. The most frequent compliments heard about the golf course have related to its condition, which is a direct result of their hard work. To think that Don and Ken maintain these 93.5 acres of specialized turf with a third less staff is an accomplishment worthy of great recognition. Think about letting them know you admire their work by going out to play a round of golf this spring or simply dropping them a note to celebrate!
