Scott Pavalko

 In this episode of Turf Today, Brian and Adam are joined by Scott Pavalko, Director of Golf Course and Grounds at Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colorado. Castle Pines was the stunning host of last year’s BMW Championship. Scott takes us through his inspiring journey in the turf industry, from learning the ropes from his greatest mentor, to climbing the ranks at world-class venues like Muirfield Village and Cog Hill.

This is a very insightful conversation. Scott shares thoughtful perspectives on leadership, course preparation at the highest level, and what it takes to manage elite playing conditions and people under tournament pressure. He’s articulate, passionate, and even throws in a few entertaining behind-the-scenes stories from his time on some of golf’s most iconic properties.

We hope you enjoy this episode and continue to share the good word of turf! Send the episodes and instagram clips to your friends. Keep those reels sharp.
