New Superintendent Selected for Trump National Golf Club, Westchester golfbusinesswire.com (January 2, 2007)
Batz, 28, from Bernville, Pa., comes to Westchester from Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster, where he served as golf course superintendent for nearly two years, managing a program to obtain "tournament quality" playing conditions daily. A member of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, Batz also was assistant superintendent at East Hampton (N.Y.) Golf Club, where he assisted in the final grow-in, and Moraga (Calif.) Country Club, where he implemented a 10-year master plan that included building two new greens and 15 new greenside bunkers. Weighed against a medical career, working outdoors was more appealing to Batz, who changed his initial pre-med path and instead took courses to attain his degree in turfgrass science at Penn State University. While completing college, Batz worked at his hometown club, Green Acres Golf Club, where he got his first job at age 14 golf cutting weeds around trees. He juggled his studies while working first as assistant superintendent and then as superintendent at Green Acres. Batz, who is engaged to be married next spring, lives in Easton, Pa. Trump National Golf Club, Westchester, is one of six golf properties owned by Donald J. Trump and managed by Trump Golf Properties, LLC. Trump Golf properties include: Trump National Golf Club
