We are excited to inform PCC members that Wissahickon Superintendent, Pat
Miller, has recently accepted the Golf Course Superintendent position at
Hawthorns Golf and Country Club, in Fishers, Indiana.
Pat joined PCC in January of 2013, as the assistant superintendent of
the Wissahickon course. Pat came to PCC from Crooked Stick GC to be part
of the historic restoration project on Wissahickon. He played an integral
role during the project, and made sure the course was in championship condition
before the grand opening. This included overseeing construction of the
new patio at the Flourtown clubhouse.
Pat and his wife, Michelle, who most of you know from the golf shop, are
looking forward to going back to the Midwest and being closer to family.
If you are ever in the Indianapolis area, please look up Pat and Michelle! We
thank Pat for all of his hard work and sacrifice during his time with PCC!
We also wanted to be sure to thank PCC members. Whether reaching out
to your personal contacts, or helping perform mock interviews, PCC members have
always played an integral role in helping our superintendents become their best
and achieve their own positions. Pat was the 5th PCC superintendent to be
promoted in such a manner in the last five years. This form of
positive turn-over helps PCC to continue to recruit top tale
nt
from across the U.S., which in turn, continues to help our courses constantly
improve.
In 2015, we are fortunate to be hiring from within as Andrew Goehler will
assume the Wissahickon Superintendent position. Andrew played an integral
role during Wissahickon’s restoration, and was previously the Golf Course
Superintendent at St Martins during the restoration project that saw St Martins
transformed into the course it is today.
For those members who would like to congratulate Pat, we have placed a link
to his email below.
Patrick Miller
Congrats Pat!
