In this episode of the Reel Turf Techs Podcast, we sit down with Tanner Knudsen, CTEM, Equipment Manager at North Oaks Golf Club in Minnesota. Tanner talks through his path from working on small engines to running the shop at a private 18-hole club, and how much of what he knows started in his grandpa’s garage. His grandpa was the first person to teach him engines, and Tanner still calls him whenever he hits a snag.

We get into what it takes to keep things running smoothly with a seasonal crew, how Tanner approaches training without letting the stress get to him, and what winterizing looks like in a Minnesota shop. Tanner also shares what he learned during recent facility upgrades and through attaining his CETM designation, and why mentorship and technician education matter so much to him.

It’s a practical, down-to-earth conversation packed with tips, stories, and lessons from Tanner’s time in the industry.
