Giese on the Green

For over 20 years, Matt Giese has worked as a field technical manager for Syngenta Turf and Landscape, transitioning new products for the golf industry from Research and Development to the sales and marketing teams and supporting them post-registration. To make those transitions better, Matt joined the weekend golf maintenance crew at Dub’s Dread Golf Club in Kansas City, Kansas, for the entire summer season to deepen his understanding of superintendents needs and their struggles. “The ultimate goal still remains, how can we team up with superintendents to help them reach their objectives, knowing each day that they are expected to ‘do more with less’?” He hopes to apply those learnings towards future new product introductions as well as some existing Syngenta products currently in the golf market.

The turf industry has provided Matt opportunities to learn, grow and network. Embodying that same principle, Matt partnered with and will donate his wages from the season to the Wee One Foundation and its “One for the Wee One” endowment. This foundation helps superintendents and their families who incur overwhelming expenses due to medical hardship. “What makes this industry so special is the willingness of others to give of themselves, to give of their time, of their resources, to really help one another – to make a difference in someone else’s life,” Matt explained.
