Shaun Knutzen Northwest Region

Shaun Knutzen has been selected to travel in the Green Section’s Northwest Region. Shaun is a turfgrass management major at Washington State University where Dr. Bill Johnston serves as his advisor.

An avid golfer since age four, Shaun became interested in turfgrass management in high school by observing how golf courses are maintained. After working with the assistant superintendent at Bellingham Golf and Country Club (WA), Shaun was hooked and knew he wanted to make turfgrass management his career. He is vice president of the WSU Turf Club and this summer also will be interning at The Old Baldy Club in Saratoga, WY.

After graduation in May 2008, Shaun would like to become a golf course superintendent at a golf course in the Montana/Wyoming area, or near his hometown of Skagit Valley, WA.
