Bobbie Bodrug - Golf Course Superintendent
My name is Bobbie Bodrug. I grew up in small ski town in Northern New Mexico called Angel Fire. I spent my winters snowboarding and my summers golfing. After Graduating from Moreno Valley High School I began working at Sandia Golf club in Albuquerque New Mexico and instantly fell in love with the game. I then enrolled in the Rutgers Professional Golf Turf Management School in New Jersey to pursue my career. In between semesters, I interned at the Wigwam Golf Course in Goodyear Arizona as an Assistant in Training for a year. Upon graduating from Rutgers in 2019, I accepted the Assistant Superintendent role at Quintero Golf Course in Peoria Arizona, which I held for 4 years. After learning as much as possible about Bentgrass greens at Quintero, I looked to exercise my knowledge at a high-end private course. That is when I accepted my new role as the Golf Course Superintendent at Pinnacle Peak Country Club in February of 2024.
Alex Richards - Senior Assistant Superintendent
Hi, my name is Alex Richards. I have been in the turf industry for 11 years now with the drive and intention of becoming a golf course superintendent. I started my turf career right after graduating from high school in San Antonio, Texas, where I spent 4 years at Hyatt Hill Country Club and Resort learning the basics of course maintenance. I moved out to Phoenix, Arizona in September of 2016 working out of TPC Scottsdale as an operator level 2. I had the pleasure of mowing back 9 tees for the 2017 WMO. I have since then been in a few different courses learning and growing in my turf career. I have my Turfgrass Management Certificate from the University of Georgia.
