While I have never met Rick, I was the beneficiary of working for ten years with one of his protégé’s Scott Axon at Happy Hollow in omaha. He is indeed a legend in his craft

Well deserved! Fantasic superintendent and even better person! Was great experience to be able to work with some old friend and make some new ones at the Solheim Cup!

Congratulations Rick! Your project at DMGCC was among the first few I supplied when I was new to this business. I learned a ton about what it takes to be a successful supplier in the golf industry, thank you. Best wishes for a happy retirement!
