Clinton Steketee will travel as an intern in the North Central Region.  He currently is a junior at Michigan State University studying crop and soil science under the guidance of Dr. James Crum.   

            Clint grew up in Caledonia, MI where he began working at his father’s lawn care company.  His interest in turfgrass management grew while he was working at Broadmoor Country Club (Caledonia, MI) as a high school student.  Last summer, Clint had the opportunity to work as an intern at Quaker Ridge Golf Club (Scarsdale, NY), and also served as a grounds volunteer for The Barclays PGA tournament held at Ridgewood Country Club (Paramus, NJ).  He also will work at The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company this summer as a research and development intern.

            Upon graduation in May 2012, Clint will attend graduate school to study turfgrass management with the hopes of one day becoming a consultant, professor, or turfgrass researcher.
