Something I have been meaning to do and should have done a long time ago is recognize the key members of my staff. Over the next few weeks I will introduce you all to the guys that are responsible for what we have been able to accomplish out here.
Shawn Tordrup joined Indian Creek Golf Course in October 2013 as one of the assistant superintendents. He has a lifelong passion for golf being first introduced to it at the age of six when his uncle taught him how to play. He was on his high school golf team in Superior, NE and spent five years working at Superior Country Club. In 2005, he graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a Bachelors degree in turfgrass management and a goal of having a career in the golf course industry. At that time, job opportunities were sparse so he took a landscaping job for one year, followed by six years working in the lawn irrigation business. However, the golf "itch" would not go away and the timing was right when he found the opportunity at Indian Creek. He is a member of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America. In his free time, Shawn enjoys golfing, hunting and spending time with his wife Shauna, and three dogs.
Shawn has been an excellent addition to our team and we appreciate the skill set and attitude he has brought with him.

Indian Creek is proud to host the 2014 Nebraska Turfgrass Association's fundraiser golf outing. The 4 man scramble is scheduled for 12:00 pm Monday, September 29th.
