"Achieving Certification means reaching a career milestone that validates dedication to our profession. It represents the time spent learning, growing, and striving to improve as a Superintendent and a leader.”
– Kevin Klemenz, CGCS, Bald Peak Colony Club, Melvin Village N.H.
"I’m proud to have earned my CGCS and grateful for the experiences and people that helped me along the way.”
– Miles Carlson, CGCS, Blessings Golf Club, Fayetteville, Ark.
"Certification brings a wonderful sense of pride and accomplishment. It confirms a certain passion one must have for the betterment of the industry, environment and personal drive.”
– Steve Sarro, CGCS, Kelly Plantation Golf Club, Destin, Fla.
"Achieving my Certified Golf Course Superintendent designation represents far more than a professional milestone—it reflects the experiences that have shaped how I approach this profession every day. I think back to a stretch in the Mid-Atlantic where we were managing intense summer pressure, with heat, disease, and expectations all colliding at once. In those moments, it would have been easy to simply react, but instead, I leaned into a more disciplined, data-driven approach—tracking moisture, monitoring clipping yields, and making proactive decisions to stay ahead of issues rather than chase them. That experience fundamentally changed how I view my role. It reinforced that being a professional in this industry means being prepared, accountable, and committed to continuous improvement. Earning my CGCS reflects that mindset. It represents the standard I hold myself to—not just in agronomy, but in leadership, communication, and the responsibility we carry as stewards of our facilities and the game."
– Marc Muniz, CGCS, The Golf Club at Lansdowne, Lansdowne, Va.
"Becoming a certified golf course superintendent has been one of the most rewarding achievements in my turfgrass career. I've broadened my expertise in turfgrass agronomics, golf course management, and leadership, while upholding a strong commitment to environmental stewardship. To me, it's not just a title - it reflects years of hard work, continuous education, and pride in delivering quality playing conditions at my facility. It also motivates me to keep improving and setting a higher standard for myself and my team."
– Collin Cannon, CGCS, Grand Forks Country Club, Grand Forks, N.D.
"Becoming a CGCS has been a long-time goal of mine. Earning it truly represents a commitment to the excellence of the profession as an art and science. I am very proud to represent our industry as a Certified Golf Course Superintendent."
– Ryan Higgins, CGCS, TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, Potomac, Md.
"Achieving CGCS represents the fulfillment of a career goal I set for myself when I became an Assistant Superintendent. Earning the CGCS designation reflects not only my commitment to excellence on the agronomic side of our profession, but also my dedication to professionalism, continuous learning, and ongoing growth in knowledge and expertise."
– Mike Dorosky, CGCS, Willow Oaks Country Club, Richmond, Va.
"Earning my CGCS status has been a goal of mine since I entered the industry. The first Superintendent I worked for was Certified and I knew it was something special."
– Scott Kincaid, CGCS, Blue Ash Golf Course, Cincinnati, Ohio
"Achieving CGCS status with the GCSAA is a privilege that I will cherish for the rest of my career. I'm proud to be included in this group of respected Golf Course Superintendents and will hold this status in high esteem as I continue my career in the golf course industry.”
– Grant Rosenfelder, CGCS, Columbia Country Club, Columbia, Mo.
"I wanted to pursue the CGCS designation to continue my professional development and education. I learned many useful things along the way that will improve our overall operation and facility itself.”
– John Cameron, CGCS, North Oaks Golf Club, North Oaks, Minn.
"I’m humbled and grateful to have earned the CGCS designation, and I owe this achievement to the support of mentors, peers, and especially my family.”
– Noy Sparks, III, CGCS, Fossil Trace Golf Club, Golden, Colo.
