Over the past twenty five years under the supervision of Dan Pierson, Wilmington Country Club has enjoyed the dedicated efforts of many young professionals committed to a career in the golf course industry. Many have gone on to be successful golf course superintendents in their own right, a few have found other niches in the field of golf, and one or two have decided to do other things. We thought you might find it interesting as to who they are and what they are doing now. It would be very difficult to search the exact dates they were here so we will be a bit general in the time period.
