Abstract/Contents:Profiles Blake McMaster, recipient of the 2007 Superintendent of the Year Award. Highlights McMaster's career achievements and mentions that he is "a 50-year veteran of the golf industry, starting with his first job as a 10-year-old caddie at Thornhill Country Club." Presents an interview with McMaster, discussing his accomplishments and tasks as a golf course superintendent. States that "early in [McMaster's] career, being a superintendent was a much more hands-on job, whereas now more of [superintendents'] time is spent as administrators and communicators." Suggests that "the lifestyle and commitment required to be a superintendent can be very hard on families...the younger generation of superintendents will try to achieve a better balance between work and family...truly progressive golf clubs will recognize the demands on their superintendents and try to provide them with down time during the season, not just in the winter months." Mentions that the Canadian Golf Superintendents Association (CGSA) "[needs] to surround [itself] with a capable executive director and association staff...[one is] only as good as the people around."
