A True Turf Professional on International Thank A Superintendent Day
As part of International Thank A Superintendent Day, Riverside Golf Course is proud to shine a spotlight on Kane Holmes for his outstanding service, leadership, and long-standing contribution to the turf management industry.
With over 15 years of experience in sports turf management, Kane has built a distinguished career focused on turf science, sustainability, and elite-level surface presentation. His expertise spans everything from long-term turf care strategies and irrigation projects to pest and disease control, all while maintaining the highest standards in safety and quality.
At Riverside, Kane brings his deep knowledge and leadership to the forefront—ensuring pristine playing conditions for golfers year-round. His strategic thinking, team management, and environmental commitment are hallmarks of his approach and continue to set the benchmark in our industry.
Recognising a Global Profession
From May 13–20, Riverside joins the Australian Sports Turf Managers Association (ASTMA) and leading international associations in celebrating International Thank A Superintendent Day—a global initiative that recognises the vital role of turf professionals like Kane.
The Role of a Superintendent
Turf managers do far more than mow grass. They are:
- Experts in soil health, irrigation, and turf nutrition
- Stewards of biodiversity and sustainability
- Leaders in Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) compliance
- Innovators in machinery and resource management
- Mentors, strategists, and essential members of every facility’s success
Kane’s ability to lead in challenging conditions while mentoring his team and elevating playing standards is a testament to his professionalism and passion.
