Todd Wenzel: Assistant Superintendent

 I was born in Oshkosh but I have spent my entire life in Neenah.  Some of my earliest memories from childhood revolve around Ridgeway and being on the golf course with my father.  I graduated from Neenah High School and began working summers at Ridgeway CC, starting in 1989.  I graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in Turfgrass Management and I have been at Ridgeway ever since.  I have enjoyed being involved in all the changes that have made the golf course what it is today and the daily variety that comes with my job.  In my time away from work I am a race weekend mechanic for a professional formula car racing team.

Scott Thiel: Equipment Manager

Hometown: Hilbert, WI.  I graduated from Hilbert High School and attended Fox Valley Technical College for mechanical / electrical and welding.  Growing up I worked on my parents two-hundred acre dairy farm.  I am the seventh of twelve children and now have three teenage daughters of my own.  I spent half of my career in commercial construction as a crew lead man, from there went into the mechanical maintenance industry as an Assitant Manager.  In January of 1997 I started as the equipment manager at Ridgeway CC.  I look forward to the everyday challenges in my career, and appreciate the great members of Ridgeway Country Club.
