Welcome to Episode 111 of the Reel Turf Techs Podcast! We’re in conversation with Jeff Lumaquin, the Equipment Manager at the California Golf Club of San Francisco.

Join us as we explore the ins and outs of maintaining this private 18-hole gem nestled on 200 acres in the picturesque Bay Area. Jeff, a father of five and a veteran of the United States Air Force, gives us a peek into his world, sharing insights into the challenges and triumphs of managing equipment for a top-notch golf course.

With a seasonal assistant and a fleet dominated by Toro equipment, Jeff's journey takes us from the high-flying days as a crew chief on an F16 to the ground-level impact of irrigation system updates on height of cut. Get ready for a deep dive into the intricacies of time management, the theory of operation's impact on workflow, and the looming challenges posed by upcoming regulations in California.

Jeff's passion extends beyond the golf course, delving into his love for restoring classic muscle cars and playing the crucial role of logistics coordinator for his wife's baking business.

It's an episode that combines the thrill of military aviation, the precision of turf management, and the sweetness of family and hobbies. Tune in for a great chat with Jeff on the Reel Turf Techs Podcast.
