A good equipment technician can be hard to find; a great one nearly impossible. Those superintendents lucky enough to have one know that an exceptional mechanic is the backbone of any successful golf course maintenance operation. Not much gets accomplished with equipment that does not work properly or reliably, or when parts are strewn about a disorganized shop.
Lawrence, Kan. (Dec. 29. 2015) - At 37, Stephen Tucker, equipment manager at Tranquillo Golf Club at Four Seasons in Windermere, Fla., may seem too young to be awarded his profession’s equivalent of a lifetime achievement award. However, in just 16 years in the profession, Tucker helped found a national membership organization for golf course equipment managers, oversaw development of the first recognized certificate program for technicians, and ushered the organization’s members into the next phase of opportunities. For his efforts, Tucker is being honored with the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America’s 2015 Edwin Budding Award.
The Edwin Budding Award, named for the inventor of the lawnmower and presented in partnership with Ransomes/Jacobsen, is given to equipment managers and related innovators, technicians, educators, or engineers who have made a significant impact in the golf and turf business.
