-UPDATE: Not long after this podcast was recorded, the sale of the golf course was completed and new ownership did not retain staff. Shawn, Donny & Michael have each moved to new positions at other golf facilities-

For our final episode of the year, we dive into the goings-on out at Lake Presidential Golf Club.  After opening twelve years ago, LP was immediately a must-play for any public golfer in the dmv looking for a hefty layout without getting too far outside the beltway.  Its reputation took a hit after conditions slid significantly in 2016 and new management was brought in to bring it back to what it had been. Unrelated to that period, ownership of the property have stuck to their original plan of selling the course when the larger development was complete, which makes for an uncertain future as the process plays out.

The head superintendent brought in back in ’16 was Shawn Gill, who sits down with us to talk about what was done to get it back to the great shape its in now, and what his team continues to do to keep it that way. Donny Ernakovich leads operations today and joins the conversation providing insight on where everything stands presently. Finally, Mike Chiadis also sits down with us, who joined the team from sorely missed Glenn Dale GC and wears several hats here at Lake Presidential.
