Graaf named IGCSA Superintendent of the Year

Chad Graaf of Humboldt has always felt that hard work and perseverance pays off. His work ethic hasn’t gone unnoticed as he was recently named Superintendent of the Year by the Iowa Golf Course Superintendent’s Association of Iowa. Graaf, who is beginning his 11th year at Lakeside Golf Course north of Fort Dodge, received his award at the annual Iowa Turf Grass Show and awards banquet in Cedar Rapids earlier this winter. “It is a pretty neat feeling. It’s good for Lakeside and good for the city of Fort Dodge, obviously, to help grow the game of golf. Anything we can do to promote the game of golf is a positive,” Graaf said. “It’s a nice award for my career and my staff. But I also feel it goes a lot deeper than one person,” Graaf said.
