Ryan Trudeau

This week on Turf Today, we sit down with Ryan Trudeau, Assistant Golf Course Superintendent at Maidstone Club in New York. Originally from Montreal, Ryan's journey into the turf industry led him through Penn State's renowned turfgrass program and into an internship at Maidstone, an opportunity that quickly turned into a career thanks to the club's strong culture and leadership. In this episode, Ryan reflects on the mentors who have shaped his path, the impact of investing in others, and the importance of building a team-first environment. He also talks about volunteering at this year's upcoming U.S. Open Championship at Shinnecock Hills. Fan-favorite Mark Prieur joins Adam as co-host for this conversation. We'll be taking a short break next week, but Brian and Adam will be back with our Masters episode. Be sure to check out the Masters pool on the Turf Today Instagram for your chance to win prizes.
