Graduating from college wasn’t on my mind 2 years ago, but the turf program changed my mind on things. I have so many people to thank for my success at ATI the past to years but I owe a huge thanks to all my professors and classmates that pushed me academically to succeed.

2 months into my greenskeeping internship overseas at TheGroveHotel in Watford, England. It’s a stunning course and is really shining even through the drought. The course just glows, especially the fairways. As always Go Bucks! OSU ATI Turf Club Ohio State ATI Turf Mike O'Keeffe Ohio State - CFAES
