Abstract/Contents:Profiles Olympic Hills Golf Club and its superintendent, Jake Schmitz. Briefly details the history of the course, which opened in 1970 as a "men only" club. States that Schmitz discovered his calling for course maintenance in high school and still maintains contact with his first boss and various mentors. Includes an interview with Schmitz on his career, the golf industry, the Minnesota Golf Course Superintendents of America association, and his "dream foursome" for a golf outing. Notes that "I would actually play a five-some with my Mom and Dad, and my brother and sister. They all understand what it takes to manage a golf course and a rarely does a complaint ever arise!"
