Shane Pokorney is the Equipment Manager at Colbert Hills Golf Course in Manhattan, Kansas. Shane started at Colbert Hills as a Kansas State student, working on the crew for beer money, and moved into the shop for a pay bump. A self-taught (thanks, Google!) mechanic with a degree in wildlife management, Shane discovered he liked hunting for fun more than for work and headed back to Colbert Hills. Shane tells us about the bridge crane he fabricated and gets into some chainsaw modification talk. An archery hunter, fisherman, and woodworker in his free time, Shane and his wife love to travel and are halfway to their goal of visiting all the national parks. Shane reminds us of the importance of doing things right the first time and communicates the value of attending the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show (if you don’t have the means to get there, be sure and apply for the Melrose EM Experience just like Shane did).
