Profiles of our staff members are way past due, so I will get them going this week with a twofor.  First off, I would like to acknowledge a very important person from another department.  Stockton Golf and Country Club's Executive Chef, Nicolas Sanchez, puts more smiles on faces with his food and personality than you could possibly imagine.  It doesn't matter whether he's cooking for a tournament, a wedding party, or just a lunch in the Spanos Grill, each and every time you get his best, and it is GOOD!!  In fact, it's so good that the recent issue of PGA Magazine included Nico as one of the "Faces of Golf." 

The work of Nico and his staff makes him very deserving of the honor and everyone here at the club is proud of this recognition.  Take a look for yourself and try not to smile back at the grin on his face.  I'm pretty sure it's permanent.

Next up, I’m happy to announce a new addition to the Turf Department at Stockton Golf and Country Club, Assistant Superintendent Rob Williams.  Rob is native to Australia and has lived in the United States since 2001. His work experience includes courses in Australia, England, and most recently, the Reno and Truckee regions.


I’ve teased Rob about joining the staff and bringing so much extra work to our department. He is full of ideas of course improvements and is doing a splendid job in supporting and managing the staff with the increased work load. His personal skills and attention to detail leave me to wonder why he doesn’t have a course of his own as a head superintendent. I’m sure it is not too far off, so let’s enjoy him while we can and make him feel welcome at his new home.  Rob even has his own web page shamelessly promoting his hard work in the golf profession.  Maybe I'm foolish to encourage other employers to look at my right-hand-man, but it doesn't make sense for him to stay an assistant much longer.  Take a look at http://www.robwilliamsresume.com/.
