Kyle's career began in 2004 at the Hyannisport Club, while also volunteering for the Cape Cod Baseball League. Kyle went to Plymouth State University in New Hampshire, studying abroad in Limerick, Ireland. Transferring to UMass-Amherst in the Stockbridge School, he graduated with an Associates Degree in Turfgrass Management, as well as a Bachelors Degree in Plant, Soil, and Insect Sciences. 

 

He performed internships at The Country Club in Brookline, and Pine Valley Golf Club. He then worked down-under at New South Wales Golf Club in Sydney, Australia. He returned stateside to senior roles in the mid-Atlantic region. He ultimately became the grounds superintendent of one of America's oldest lawn tennis clubs and Class A GCSAA member. Kyle was recently a speaker at the New England Regional Turf Conference.

 

Bringing over 21 seasons of experience that spans dramatically different regions of the world and across the realms of golf and sports turf, he hopes the insights and advising from the highest levels of turfgrass maintenance can help the next wave of interested turf professionals stay in control of their successes, travels, and lives.
