A Seamless Transition

Isaac Kasper has made a seamless transition to the Lead Assistant position here at Minikahda.  Isaac was promoted to the position following the departure of Nick Folk.  The decision to promote Isaac was an easy one.  Isaac has been the 2nd Assistant for the past two years here at the club and previous to his time here, Isaac and his wife Jessica lived in Maryland.  While in Maryland Isaac was the Assistant at Andrew's Air Force Base and 2nd Assistant at Columbia Country Club. So Isaac has worked in one of the most difficult (worst) turf growing regions in the country where he had to keep pure poa annua greens alive at .085" and ryegrass fairways, ugh! 

Originally from Deerwood, Minnesota, Isaac and Jessica are thrilled to be back home and closer to family and friends, especially since the birth of the baby girl Daphne. We are delighted to have Isaac as part of this department.  His leadership and knowledge will benefit the club and our department substantially.  

On to Greener Pastures

After almost 7 years at The Minikahda Club, Lead Assistant Nick Folk, is moving on to greener pastures.  Nick has accepted the Superintendents' position at Rochester Golf & Country Club in Rochester, MN.  Nick has really honed his skills during his time here at Minikahda, growing as an individual and a turf professional.  We are really going to miss Nick's leadership in the department and his get it done attitude.  Rochester picked a winner and the course and club will benefit greatly from his abilities and knowledge.  Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to The Minikahda Club.  We wish you and the family nothing but the best.
