Golfdom Gallery: April 2025
Featured on this month’s cover: Golfdom Editor-in-Chief Seth Jones enjoyed an amazing round at Soleta Golf Club where he was welcomed by the club’s owner, Charles Duff (right). The new course, designed by Nick Price and located in Myakka City, Fla., is featured on this month’s cover (was that Nelly Korda that just walked by? Oh yeah, it was).
Fine after nine: Tom Trammell, CGCS, owner, TBT Turf Services; Joshua Fleisher, director of golf course maintenance, Addison Reserve CC, Delray Beach, Fla., and Mike Davis, Winston Trails GC, Jupiter, Fla., take time for a quick photo following their nine-hole round at The Dye Preserve GC in Jupiter, Fla.
What’s that truck doing? John Reilly, director of agronomy, the Resort at Longboat Key Club (with his dogs Wingman and Millie, aka “Team 10”), gave Seth a nice surprise when he unexpectedly pulled his truck right up to the tee box toward the end of his round.
Shotgun start where the pros play: (Left to right) Justin Gille, superintendent, Broken Sound GC, Boca Raton, Fla.; Harry Robishaw, assistant superintendent, Addison Reserve; and Clinton Tingen, CGCS, director of agronomy at Sandhill Crane GC, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., were dialed in and ready for their round at The Dye Preserve — where most of the members are professional golfers.
Bird watching at Dye Preserve: Jones and his friend Ted Bokern, Nationwide Insurance, put on a double-bogey display while playing with birdie brothers, Brian Birney, CGCS, the Everglades Club, Palm Beach, Fla., and Jim Rattigan, Plant Food Co.
Host supers: Hats off to Ryan Swilley, CGCS, (right) and Chris Schultz, The Dye Preserve. These two played host to the Palm Beach GCSA Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent Only meeting. Our own Seth Jones delivered a lecture on how to put your best foot forward when being interviewed, but the highlight of the meeting was enjoying nine holes and seeing the exceptional conditions at Dye Preserve.
Happy hour: Mike Erik, superintendent, The Bear’s Club, Jupiter, Fla.; Case LeVally, Jonathan’s Landing at Old Trail, Jupiter, Fla., and Matt Schuster, The Bear’s Club, following their nine holes at Dye Preserve.
Eye on the prize: Terry Kennelly, director of agronomy, Miakka Golf Club, showed Jones the progress on the Fry/Straka Global Golf Course Design build (in partnership with Paul Azinger) located near Myakka City, Fla.
