💚 MORE THAN A GREENSKEEPER — HE’S FAMILY. 💚
For 37 years, Rich has dedicated his life to the golf business. For the Green Acres family, he’s given so much more than his time and hard work — he’s given his heart.
Rich has been part of Green Acres since 2018, working his way from assistant superintendent to becoming the Superintendent we all know and appreciate today. He’s the guy who takes pride in every blade of grass, every green, and every detail of this course. But to us, Rich is so much more than his job title. He is family.
In 2024, Rich faced his first battle with colon cancer — and he beat it. Then, in June of this year, he was given another devastating diagnosis. This time, cancer of the ampulla. He has since undergone major surgery to remove his gallbladder, pancreas, and part of his stomach.
Through all of this, Rich has continued to show the strength, dedication, and heart that have made him such an important part of Green Acres. ❤️
Now it’s our turn to give back to him.
We are hosting Greenskeeper’s Revenge on October 10th, 2026, with proceeds benefiting Rich as he continues this fight.
⛳ 18 Holes of Revenge
🌭 Hot Dog or Brat
🍽️ Dinner
💰 $100 per player / $400 per team
🎟️ Big-ticket raffles, 50/50 drawings, prizes & more!
This isn’t just a golf outing. It’s our way of standing behind one of our own.
If Rich has ever taken care of you, made you laugh, helped make Green Acres a better place, or simply been someone you’re grateful to know — please come out, play a round, donate, share this post, or simply send Rich some love and prayers.
Let’s fill this course for a man who has spent 37 years taking care of the courses and the people around him. 💚
