About this listen

In this episode, we sit down with current GCSAA President, T.A. Barker, CGCS to talk leadership from the superintendent's seat, and what it's like guiding the profession into a milestone year.

T.A. shares his roots in a multi-generation golf family, the real-world pressure of big infrastructure decisions (like tackling an aging irrigation system), and how he's tried to stay approachable while serving at the national level. The conversation also gets into career pathways, building a stronger pipeline, and why creating space for more women and new voices in the industry is not a side topic. It's the work.

Along the way, you'll hear stories from the road, a Ryder Cup moment that still makes him laugh, and a few behind-the-scenes notes on what the centennial year has planned.

If you care about leadership, team culture, and where the superintendent profession is headed next, this one's for you.
