Michael Vysocka Southeast Region

Michael Vysocka will travel in the Southeast Region. Michael is currently enrolled at North Carolina State University as a fourth-year undergraduate student majoring in turfgrass science. Dr. Daniel Bowman serves as his academic advisor.

Six years ago Michael began working part-time on a local golf course, and quickly found the variation of daily responsibilities and outdoor activity to be something unparalleled by many other professions. Four years into his employment, Michael began compiling lists of universities that would afford him the skills he would need to make a career on the golf course, and eventually turned this information into a Web site containing a national database of available turfgrass internships (Turfintern.com).

After graduation in December 2007, Michael plans to obtain a job as a golf course superintendent at a reputable facility in the eastern United States, and work towards becoming a certified golf course superintendent.
