Welcome to the Reel Turf Techs Podcast, Episode 160.
Today Trent is talking with Bobby Medina, Equipment Manager at Snowmass Club in Snowmass Village, Colorado. Snowmass Club is a private 18-hole course supported by an approximately 8,000-square-foot maintenance facility, with a fleet that’s primarily Toro.
Bobby shares his path into the turf industry, starting out as a snowcat operator in Mammoth Lakes before making the jump into golf course equipment management. They talk honestly about the transition from winter operations to turf, the steep learning curve, and the importance of keeping your cool while learning on the job. Bobby also reflects on finding balance in a mountain town, making time for snowboarding and golf, and how the support and community within the turf industry have played a big role in his growth as an equipment manager.
