Ethan Bierman

Superintendent at Wilderness Ridge | 2022 Arizona Cactus and Pine Assistant Superintendent of the year

[Tyler Bloom @bloom_golf]

Superintendents already manage the club’s largest assets, budgets, and teams.
The question is whether the industry is ready to fully recognize that leadership potential.

In today’s episode of Leadership on the Links, Kenton Brunson, Director of Agronomy at Mid Ocean Club, joins Tyler Bloom to challenge outdated silos and make the case for why superintendents are uniquely positioned for the GM path.

From MBAs and CCMs to performance scorecards, people systems, and boardroom credibility—this conversation reframes what modern leadership in golf really looks like.

Couldn’t be more proud of Wesley for taking a leap of faith and joining us at Mid Ocean 18 months ago. Now, he's taking the next big step in his career at Cordillera Ranch with one of the best, @StuGrowsGolf . Wishing him nothing but success!

SilverLeaf Men’s Invitational 2024. We are requested every year to be faster than last, but this year we were able to take our greens to an entirely different level. We stimped them at 17’6 for the final day. Take a look for yourself! And yes, the pins are still playable🏌🏽

Excited to achieve the CGCS certification. This must mean I’m getting older! Highly recommend thanks to all the people that make it possible @GCSAACEO @GCSAA

It was such an honor to take home Arizona’s @cactusandpine Assistant Superintendent of the Year award. It’s an even greater privilege to continue to be the voice for assistants in AZ. I could not have done any of this without the help of all of my mentors and fellow peers!

Today, @Troon delivered their first meeting in part of an education series for their Assistant Superintendents. No better place to learn the history of the company than where it all started. And no better group to learn from than the regional agronomists themselves.
