Ian Murray, 
Golf Course Superintendent
Ian Murray of Detroit, Michigan first became interested in turfgrass managment as the world cup was being held on real turf, indoors, at the nearby Pontiac Silverdome. Working at various positions within the scope of a few metro Detroit area golf clubs through High School, he decided to enroll, and eventually graduate from Michigan State University with a Bachelor of Science in Crop and Soil Sciences and a Business minor. " I recently found an old report card from first grade where the teacher stated I should have my ears checked because no matter if she announced it were time for recess, lunch, snack, nap time, etc. I would run and throw my coat on. It essentially explains my love for the outdoors, yet now prefer to keep the coat in storage."
Ian is a GCSAA Environmental Management Program Certificate holder in both Golf Course Development and Storage and Recycling.
