Bill Meyer: Assistant Superintendent

I grew up in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and attended Iowa State University where I earned my B.S. Degree in Horticulture in the Fall of 2009.  This is my first Assistant Superintendent job however I did participate in internships while at ISU.  Some of the places I interned at were Montreux Golf and Country Club in Reno, NV, Oakland Hills Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, MI, and most recently Blackwolf Run in Kohler, WI.  During these internships I was involved with preparing for large tournaments like the Reno-Tahoe Open (Montreux Golf and Country Club) and the 90th PGA Championship (Oakland Hills Country Club), and large projects such as the complete re-grassing of the Championship Course at Blackwolf Run.
