In this episode of the GCSAA Podcast, we visit with Rick Tegtmeier, CGCS, MG, director of grounds at Des Moines Golf and Country Club who is on the brink of retirement after a hall-of-fame-worthy, 40-year career in golf course management. Rick talks about his start in the industry at a local nine-hole course, some of the technological innovations he&apos;s seen, events he has hosted, projects he has undertaken, and accolades and awards he has won. The GCSAA Podcast is presented in partnership with <a href='https://www.us.envu.com/turf-and-ornamentals-management/golf-course-management'>Envu</a>.

The podcast is also a vehicle to showcase association products and services that can help members do their jobs better, faster and more cost-effectively.
