We caught up with Nick Wolfe, superintendent at Gunby Ranch Golf Club in Debolt, Alberta, Canada. Nick has a unique role at a unique property. As part of the DeBolt & District Agricultural Society, he not only manages a 9-hole golf course, but also several ball fields, a curling center, and community center. With a team of just 4 (1 full time and 3 seasonal) people, they keep quite busy winter and summer. Nick discussed the challenges of growing turf in a short season, recovering from almost inevitable winter turf damage, and of course the finer points of keeping a proper curling “ice sheet.” Nick is an innovative “shoestring” superintendent that leans hard on biological soil management for solutions to his turf challenges on a tight budget. His has a creative way to create a closed loop system of recycling and composting to build healthy, resilient soils.
