Greg Pattinson, golf course superintendent at Midland Country Club, shares his story — from caddying at Warwick Hills at age 11, to an Evans Scholarship and Michigan State turf, to leading a crew built on mentorship, communication, and work-life balance.
In this MiStory, Greg talks about the wake-up call that shaped how he leads, the mentors who invested in him, helping neighboring courses when they need equipment, taking member questions head-on, and finding pride when former staff succeed. He also tips his hat to his mom, his wife Chandra and son Daniel, and to supporting the industry through education, events, and scholarships.
