A good equipment technician is the backbone to any successful golf course maintenance operation. A great tech is something your operation should cherish and do everything humanly possible to hang onto. Not much gets accomplished if machinery does not work when you need it to, or parts are scattered about in a disorganized manner.
If your equipment tech is great or just plain good, nominate him (or her) for TurfNet’s 2012 Technician of the Year Award, presented by The Toro Co..
The winner will receive the Golden Wrench Award (a real gold-plated wrench) from TurfNet and a weeklong training session at Toro's Service Training University at the company's headquarters in Bloomington, Minn.
