Statewide Iowa — On Friday, October 29, the IGA Board of Directors named recipients of the 2021 Annual Awards in six categories.
9-Hole Superintendent – Jeff Rokusek, Sheldon Golf & Country Club
Jeff Rokusek, of Sheldon Golf & Country Club, has been named the 2021 IGA 9-Hole Superintendent of the Year.
With the golf course becoming an area of high traffic – membership up 23% in 2021 – one constant has been Sheldon’s Golf Course Superintendent, Rokusek according to Jason Hengeveld, Club President.
“He’s done nothing but an impeccable job making the course his own,” Hengeveld said. “From improving green quality and receptibility to adding several landscape features around the course to create a more unique experience, Jeff works very hard.”
Rokusek’s tireless work ethic and attention to detail are just a couple of attributes that set him apart according to several members of the club.
“We are lucky to have Jeff,” one member said. “You’d be hard-pressed to notice that we went through the worst flood not so long ago based on the excellent condition the course is today.”
