Tim Thurston, Equipment Manager at the Ambassador Golf Club in Windsor, Ontario, started cutting lawns to make extra money and by high school had a crew of five working under him. Next Tim went to work at the golf course where his uncle was a superintendent and studied to be one himself. After serving as superintendent and EM at a series of courses Tim became a Jacobsen service manager and John Deere sales rep, traveling the globe equivalent to 90 times in his truck before settling back in at the golf course. An avid gardener and woodworker in his free time, Tim looks back on his 43 years as a turf tech.
