Middle right of the picture is Victor Grant, one of the longest tenured employees at Arcola. His 40 years covers working in the clubhouse and out on the course, with the last 25 years working as the irrigation technician. Victor will best be known for his "questionable" pin placements over the past 25 years, even on days when he did not change hole locations. Victors Revenge is a fun event the club has each season where Vic and the staff can set the course up as a Supers Revenge event. While the event has turned into a more cross country golf, Vic still enjoyed putting a few zingers out there. Above, Vic is working on the newly improved blue tee area on 13 and in his favorite position of figuring out wires etc. Vic had kept a poor irrigation system going for many years until we changed our heads over to Rain Bird. With all the improvements we made over the last 12 years, Victor had his hands full installing new irrigation or repairing the ones we broke.
Thanks Vic for all your work over my 13 years and the 27 years before I arrived!
