Ed has been the head equipment manager at The Farms Country Club since April of 1996. Ed is one of the premier golf course equipment manager’s in the state of Connecticut. He originally entered the trade from the business of automobile mechanic. He quickly picked up on the intricacies of maintaining a two million dollar fleet of high performance equipment. Realizing swiftly that there is really no mechanic job that can completely prepare someone for this type of position, he began to attend many specialized classes pertaining to the types of equipment within his charge. To go one step further, he wanted to broaden his ability in the turf field. He applied and was accepted into The University of Massachusetts’s Turf Management Winter School in 2002. This is an accelerated program in which students get an eight week crash course in maintaining and caring for specialty turf in a golf course environment. Ed has been tireless in his efforts to continually improve his abilities and expand his knowledge of all facets of the business.
I’m proud to introduce Ed Smeriglio. Without his superior knowledge and effort we would not consistently be able to maintain the golf course and grounds to the level we are accustomed to.
Make it a point to stop him and say hi.
