The Braemar Golf Association has announced that Jeff Mold, Braemar’s Golf Course Superintendent, has received Braemar’s Distinguished Service Award. Due in no small part because of Jeff’s extensive course management expertise and leadership skills, Braemar has become one of the premier public golf destinations in the metro area and beyond.
Jeff’s career path began with his employment at a golf course under construction near his hometown in Rush City, Minnesota. He enjoyed the work so much he enrolled at Anoka Technical College in their Golf and Grounds Management program. After graduation, Jeff worked at several courses, eventually serving as Assistant Golf Course Superintendent at Edina Country Club. Jeff accepted the job as Braemar’s Golf Course Superintendent during the course redesign/rebuild.
Since the reopening of the “new” Braemar, Jeff and his crew have maintained our golf facilities at the highest standards. As a result, the superb condition of the tee boxes, fairways and greens on the championship course excel those at all but the area’s top country clubs. And the work never stops, starting each day at dawn and continuing until dusk. Supervising a full-time staff of four assistants and approximately 24 seasonal employees, Jeff’s contributions to Braemar have been immeasurable.
Jeff’s hard work and dedication to the excellence of Braemar golf have made him the latest recipient of Braemar’s Distinguished Service Award. Congratulations, Jeff! Braemar is fortunate to have you here as our Golf Course Superintendent.
