Hello! I'm Chris

I have a vast array of construction experience that ranges from USGA greens construction, Bunker renovations with multiple types of liner installations, Irrigation installs with Rainbird and Toro, and multiple drainage projects on all playing surfaces.

The Bridge Golf Club
Currently I am managing a crew of 55 with the daily goal of achieving the highest quality of playing conditions during our peak season. We strive daily to have a level of detail that seperates us from most clubs in the nation.
Gardiners Bay Country Club
In my short time as Superintendent, We installed XGD drainage on 10 greens, Installed a new 2 wire Toro system, constructed two bunkers using Bunker Solutions liner and constructed multiple cartpaths. This is a unique property with no fairway irrigation and an allowance of 6 Million Gallons per year.

Marine Park Golf Course
My two seasons as Golf Course Superintendent at Marine Park was a different change of pace coming from a high end private membership club to a single owner public golf course. At Marine Park I completed the construction of new tees and mounding to separate hole along with multiple drainage products all while providing optimal conditions with an average of 45,000 golf rounds per year.
Noyac Golf Club
I was the Senior Assistant now for seven years at Noyac Golf Club, a private parkland golf club nestled on the east end of Long Island. In my term I have aided the course in a full tee and greens renovation to USGA standards profile along with Billy Bunker on all the complexes bunkers. Along with this renovation I have worked wth XGD drainage on the installation of wall to wall drainage on tees, fairways and approaches.
The images below are examples of the different types of golf course construction that I have been envolved in.
This includes XGD drainage in greens, tees and fairways. USGA greens construction along with tee construction to USGA specs. Bunker renovations using two types of bunker liners; Better Billy Bunker and Bunker Solutions. Installation of a new irrigation system (Toro 2- Wire with HDPE pipe) along with a refurbishment of a Rainbird 2 -wire system during a reconstruction project.
