John Murray, equipment manager at the Federal Club and the Kanawha Club, both in Virginia, shares his unique story with us this week. Growing up a tinkerer and passionate woodworker, John’s path to the shop included building custom storage buildings followed by 17 years building playground equipment. After the economic crisis in 2008, John made a big change and started building custom cabinetry and guitars after reconnecting with an old friend who turned out to be a Nashville musician. John got his start in golf from the caddying side, working at a local golf course and eventually finding his way to the shop. John shares what it’s like working at two courses. We discuss the value of building in extra cutting units in your equipment package purchases, fabricating rolling racks for spare sets of reels and aeration tines, and go down the rabbit hole together on torque talk.
