This week, we sit down with Brian Seltzer, a turfgrass student at Penn State who's right on the doorstep of his internship, and joining us live while volunteering at The Players Championship.

Brian's path into the turf industry isn't your typical one. Originally enrolled in mathematics and competing in NCAA downhill ski racing, he spent time out in Colorado living the ski bum lifestyle before eventually finding his way back to the golf course. That return sparked something and led him to pursue turfgrass management with a fresh perspective and serious passion.

We dive into his journey, the lessons he's picked up along the way, and what it's like getting hands-on experience at one of the biggest events in golf. Brian's story is a reminder that there's no one "right" path into this industry, just a willingness to jump in and get after it.

If you or someone you know is thinking about getting into turf, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

This week on the podcast, Adam and Brian sit down with Brian Chalifoux, the Golf Course Superintendent at Fort Wayne Country Club. Brian grew up on the golf course alongside his dad, who served as the club's Superintendent for many years. From early mornings riding around the course as a kid to eventually stepping into the Superintendent role himself, Brian's story is one deeply rooted in family and tradition.

In this episode, we talk about the unique experience of following in your father's footsteps, the lessons learned along the way, and the importance of mentorship and leadership in the turf industry. Brian also shares some incredible stories from growing up at the course and reflects on the balance between dedicating your life to maintaining great golf and remembering to carve out time to spend with family and actually get out on the course to play the game.

It's a conversation about legacy, family, and the people who shape our paths in this industry with plenty of laughs and great memories along the way.
