Internship News

On March 15 I am going to be interning at Castle Pines Golf Club. Castle Pines is an eighteen hole Jack Nicklaus designed golf course in Castle Rock, Colorado. I will be working there until the middle of September. One of the things I would like to learn from my experience there is an overall understanding of the communications and people management side of the industry. I would also like to increase my knowledge of pesticide and fertilizer application. I am very eager to get to Colorado and get started.

A little about me

My name is Dustin Weeks, I was born and raised in Tucson AZ. I am currently attending the two year turf management program at Penn State University. I have two older brothers that are in the golf industry, so i've grown up around golf most of my life. I was never really interested in pursuing a job in the industry until about three years ago when my brother helped me get a job at a city course in Tucson AZ. After the first week of working on the course i knew this was what I wanted to do. So now here I am at Penn State trying to accomplish that goal.
