Philadelphia Cricket Club was founded in 1854, and is the oldest country club in the United States.  The Truist Championship was the most recent professional golf tournament to be hosted there.

Dan Meersman is the Director of Grounds at the Philadelphia Cricket Club (Flourtown, PA).  Originally from Michigan, Meersman is a third-generation golf course superintendent.  He is considerd a pioneer in the golf course industry for his leadership and innovation, particularly with the use of a fleet of robotic mowers to help maintain three golf courses and other areas.

Dan will guide us on a tour of the agronomic practices involved in maintaining the many playing surfaces and landscapes of a golf course.
