24. Superintendent Alan FitzGerald on renovating during a pandemic

GCSAA Podcast

Alan FitzGerald in the only golf course superintendent the members at LedgeRock Golf Club in Mohnton, Pa., have ever known, joining the club during construction 14 years ago. But that encyclopedic knowledge of the property and the club's members couldn't have prepared him for what took place earlier this year — a full renovation of the layout's par-4 17th hole during the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. In this episode of the GCSAA Podcast, we talk with FitzGerald about his career, his background in golf course construction and renovation and this particular project, featured in the August issue of Golf Course Management magazine ("A very 2020 golf course renovation").
