Ryan Higgins has had a strong career working at some of the best golf courses in the Mid Atlantic. He recently became the “Head Guy” at TPC Potomac, outside of Washington DC, perhaps the toughest place in the country to grow cool season grasses. Ryan worked with Pete Wendt for several years, most recently as a golf course superintendent at Congressional Country Club where he was able to see their recent reconstruction project. Now he is on his own as the lead manager and we talked about what that is like and how he managed the change. One of the most powerful comments he made in this conversation was, “We are in the solutions business! If something is wrong fix the problem, don't just cover it up". We talked about his interview process and the steps he took once he started the job.
