 From the News Desk...Nominate your tech for the Golden Wrench AwardFinding an adequate equipment manager, much less a good one, at times can be such a challenge that desperate superintendents have been known to lure one away from a competing golf course. We’ve been told that finding an exceptional equipment tech, in some areas, can be downright impossible. So, if you if you have a tech who is great or just plain good, then please nominate him (or her) for TurfNet’s Technician of the Year. The winner will receive the Golden Wrench Award (a real gold-plated wrench) from TurfNet and other great stuff. Criteria on which nominees are judged include: crisis management; effective budgeting; environmental awareness; helping to further and promote the careers of colleagues and employees; interpersonal communications; inventory management and cost control; overall condition and dependability of rolling stock; shop safety; and work ethic. In other words, tell us what makes your technician worthy, with specific examples of what he or she has accomplished. Remember, the more you can tell us about your tech’s accomplishments the better his chances of winning. Deadline for nominations is Feb. 19. Finalists will be profiled on TurfNet.com in March, and the winner will be profile in April. E-mail nominations to jreitman@turfnet.com, or mail them to 1500 Park Center Drive, Orlando, FL 32835, or fax to 407-513-9108. Be sure to include the name and phone number of the tech; golf course at which he or she works; why they deserve to be considered; and your name, phone number and e-mail address. |
