Golf Construction Conversations: Phil Cuffare
Golf Course Industry | Published on 4/30/2024
Oakland Hills (Michigan) Country Club director of agronomy Phil Cuffare helped us open another new podcast series: Golf Construction Conversations. Sponsored by Best Sand, the series will focus on the mentality, the tactics and the relationships needed for successful projects. Editor-in-chief Guy Cipriano is already having fun hosting. Cuffare and Cipriano discussed the South Course renovation at Oakland Hills, which started during the first height of the COVID-19 pandemic and wrapped up in 2021. Cuffare says he kept his team motivated by telling them “that we’re embarking on something truly special at one of America’s greatest golf courses and championship venues. … The project was fun, and it should always be fun. And if you keep everything aligned, it will be fun, and you will have an amazing outcome when it’s all done.”
