Welcome Kora!

Kora is our newest edition to the golf course maintenance staff. Assistant Superintendent Justin Gompf recently became the proud owner of the newest "goose chaser" at Vail Golf Club. She is an Australian Shepherd and so far is excited about the snow. We look forward to her growing and learning about golf and nordic maintenance.
Over the last few seasons we have noticed a slight increase in the amount of Canada Geese that make Vail Golf Club a summer home. I don't need to explain what a nuisance these creatures cause through the summer months.
Our main goal with the geese is to deter them from playable areas on the golf course. We embrace all kinds of wildlife on the golf course that enhance its environment. The most proven way to maintain geese on golf courses are with trained herding dogs. Kora will be a welcomed addition to the golf course.
