Our mechanic

     We had a head gasket blow on our John Deer spray unit at the very end of the season.  Our machanic, Mark Gaither, is one of the hardest working guys in the industry.  Not only does he take care of our entire fleet of equipment, he also services Hillcrest's (our sister course) entire fleet as well.  Here he is installing the rebuilt engine into the unit.

     It's rare when you find someone that likes what they do as much as Mark does.  He has lived in Kansas City his entire life.  He is also a former Lakeside champion driver and team owner.  He currently lives in Kansas City, Kansas, with is wife and daughter.  He tells me he only took the job for the free golf but I think it might be something else.  

     We are lucky to have a mechanic as good as Mark, and we wouldn't trade him for anyone else.
