It’s safe to say if you don’t have great greens on a golf course, you don’t have a great product. In Canada, there’s a mix of art and science to ensure our greens have the best chance of survival going into the winter, but it’s a little bit like playing Craps in vegas and you just don’t know when you’re going to roll a 7 and have big green problems come this time of the year.

Fortunately, we have a Superintendent at Springbank Links that really knows his stuff.

By the way, did you realize there was so much difference between poa and bent grass? Most courses in this area have a mix of both grasses on the greens. I’ve always preferred bent grass. Want to know why? Well... there’s a less chance of me rolling a 7 and crapping out come April.

Barry Ehlert is a serial entrepreneur. His love & passion for business started young. His first venture of shovelling snow was done for tips. As a business graduate of Brigham Young University, Barry wrote an award winning business plan while attending his last year of university. He was named one of Forbes Magazine’s “Future Capitalists.” He grew a start-up in Dallas, TX to 8 retail locations, and over 100 wholesale accounts before selling the business, and returning home where he grew up in Calgary, AB. Barry followed his grandfather, and father’s footsteps with his passion for golf and business. He has grown Windmill Golf at one point to over 10 golf courses through building new, acquiring, and management of golf courses.
