GOLF MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS SELECTED AS GOLF MAINTENTANCE
PROVIDER FOR
JASPER, ALABAMA’S HISTORIC MUSGROVE COUNTRY CLUB
JASPER, AL (January 10, 2017) – Industry leader Golf Maintenance Solutions (GMS) has
added Jasper, Alabama’s Musgrove Country Club to its growing portfolio. Selected as the club’s golf maintenance and
agronomy provider, GMS will deliver a broad spectrum of services designed to
enhance the quality of the club’s championship golf course while maximizing
resources. The announcement was made by
GMS Founders Bill Nauroth, CGIA & GCSAA, and Dean Wochaski, CGCS.
“We
are excited to partner with Musgrove Country Club to significantly elevate the
conditioning, playability and aesthetics of this spectacular Jerry Pate-designed
golf course for the benefit of the club’s loyal membership,” said Nauroth. “Our goal is to implement state-of-the-art
maintenance and agronomic practices that elevate the caliber of the course,
without compromising the integrity of the original design.”
Considered
among the best private golf clubs in the region, Musgrove Country Club’s
par-71, 6,594-yard championship golf course was originally built in 1924 on the
site of a country estate owned by wealthy Wall Street bachelor Colonel L.B.
Musgrove. In 1932, after losing his
fortune in the stock market crash, Musgrove sold the property to a group of 45
Walker County citizens, who transformed the estate into the private Musgrove
Country Club.
In
1992, golf course architect Jerry Pate completely re-designed the golf course,
which features rolling emerald Tifway Bermuda fairways and Penn A1/A4 bent grass
greens framed by majestic oak and pine trees.
Adding to the allure and uniqueness of the layout, two wooden swinging
bridges cross Blackwater Creek, which traverses the course. Over the years, the course has played host to
numerous regional and state championships, including the State Senior
Championship, State Women’s Amateur Championship, State Junior Boys’
Championship, State Junior Girls’ Championship, State Mid-Am, and the State
Senior Fourball. To maintain the course
to championship standards, Nauroth will work with GMS Southeast Regional
Agronomist Dave Downing, CGCS, to ensure a seamless transition for the
maintenance team and begin implementing innovative practices designed to
elevate course conditioning and ensure playing surface consistency.
“When
we met with Bill and Dave, we knew we had found the right company to maintain
our course. The passion they have for providing quality course conditions is
contagious, while their knowledge and proven expertise are unsurpassed,” said
Musgrove Country Club President Kevin Callahan.
“We look forward to working with GMS to provide our membership with an
outstanding experience every time they play.”
