Crew Spotlight - Jeff Austin

Jeff Austin - Devlin Golf Course Superintendent
Jeff has been the Devlin Golf Course Superintendent at Quail Hollow since last April and was instrumental in the course conditions on the Devlin course last season. In the late fall and winter, he also helps with projects on the Weiskopf course. He came to Quail Hollow from Augusta National Golf Club where he had worked since 2010. Jeff has worked 5 Masters tournaments, a U.S. Women's Open, a Senior PGA Championship and will be working the 2015 Masters tournament as well. He was an assistant superintendent at Beechmont CC, Lake Forest CC, and Stonewater here in NE Ohio before heading to Georgia. He has a turf degree from Penn State and a political science degree from the University of Dayton. Jeff has made improvements to the irrigation system, drainage system, turf quality, personnel management and overall golf course maintenance operation during his time at Quail. He is an asset to our team and my go to guy. If you have not met Jeff, please say hello when you see him around the club.
