Dan Haller, Harbour Town Golf Links

From Chillicothe, Ohio, Dan Haller is completing an internship with Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Dan is a third-year student majoring in turfgrass management and also pursuing a turfgrass equipment manager certificate at Ohio State ATI in Wooster.

Dan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity because he gets to experience living on his own for the first time. He thought this would help him become independent. On the job he gets to do many different things, including mowing and rolling greens, assisting in course set up, and maintaining the fleet of equipment for the course. Dan’s favorite memory during his time with Harbour Town Golf Links has been working with RBC Heritage, a PGA Tour event.

From his internship Dan hopes he can gain the important skills to manage 20+ people. If he could give advice to someone starting an internship, it would be to ask as many questions as possible. If there is something specific you are wanting to learn, ask, Dan said. “The worst they can do is say no.”
