Sunniland Super Spotlight: Scott Hullinger

Where were you born? Lima Ohio What was your major in school? Horticulture Did you play any sports? Lettered in basketball and baseball

What got you interested in turf grass? Started mowing my grandfather’s yard in elementary school and enjoyed it. How did golf come into play? Plated since I was young. My family played and I loved all sports. How did you get your first job on the golf course? My brother was working at Heathrow Country Club, and I was offered a job while down visiting. What makes the course of Twin Rivers Golf Club outstanding? The Joe Lee layout is great. There are all kinds of wildlife around the course including deer, wild pigs, turkeys, sandhill cranes, bears, bobcats, and lots of big alligators. What do you enjoy most about your job here? We have a great group of employees that make coming to work enjoyable. We also get great support from the City of Oviedo who own the course. When did you start working here? I started working here May 1st, 2017. How has the experience here helped to develop your career? We have been able to improve the course each year with solid maintenance practices. In addition, we maintain the University of Central Florida’s Golf Team facility to a high level. Who are your mentors and how do you consider them to be your mentors? Howard Anderson from Heathrow C.C. was the first Superintendent I worked for. He was very knowledgeable and provided a good working environment for his coworkers. Hal Richburg, also from Heathrow, was a good leader and he taught me a lot about spraying fert and chem. John Cunningham at Wedgefield Golf Club taught me how to get by with a smaller budget but still generate good results. If you were to give advice to someone starting in the field what would that advice be? My advice to someone starting out is to ask questions because nobody knows it all. Be good to your crew and have patience because it’s a marathon, not a sprint. How did you plan to pay it forward with others that work in golf course maintenance? I like to teach my crew members new skills at our facility and help them graduate within our facility and beyond.
