Abstract/Contents:Profiles Mitch Davidson as he reflects back on his first year as superintendent at Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club. Discusses challenges he faced on the job and the methods used to overcome them. States that "as a first-year superintendent, I think it is important to not re-invent the wheel. There are so many other aspects of the position you will need to work on and develop." Explains the importance of having plans laid out for the course and an attainable approach to accomplish it. Highlights the need for communication between the superintendent and their crew in order to be productive. Concludes that he believes "it is important to genuinely appreciate your team. Your success depends solely on the actions of your crew."
