Nick Daley

This week on Turf Today, we sit down with Nick Daley, Golf Course Superintendent at Capilano Golf & Country Club.

Originally from Sydney, Australia, Nick's journey through the turf industry has taken him from his first days at Nicklaus North Golf Course to becoming one of Canada's rising leaders in golf course management. A graduate of Penn State World Campus, Nick has worked his way through nearly every level of the profession, gaining valuable experience as a grounds crew member, irrigation technician, Assistant Superintendent, and now Superintendent at the private West Vancouver club.

In this episode, we discuss Nick's transition into the Superintendent role and the challenges that come with moving from a hands-on agronomic focus to overseeing the entire golf course operation. We explore leadership, communication, delegation, staff development, and what it takes to manage both people and turf at a high level.

Nick shares insights from hosting and volunteering at championship events and reflects on winning the 2023 CGSA Assistant Superintendent of the Year award. We also talk about the moments that continue to fuel his passion for the industry, from early mornings on the golf course to major projects, aeration weeks, and helping team members advance in their careers.

Whether you're an aspiring Superintendent, a seasoned turf professional, or simply interested in the people behind great golf courses, this conversation offers an honest look at career progression, leadership, and the evolving role of today's golf course superintendent.
