⛳STUDENT BECOMES TEACHER⛳ Rob Uzar, a South Fork High School alum, recently hosted 45 current SFHS students at the Eastpointe Country Club for a field trip with First Green (a program of GCSAA). In addition to a walking tour of the 16th, 17th and 18th holes, students also visited the pump house. They walked to Mr. Uzar’s golf course maintenance building, where they spent some time with equipment technician Clay Bormuth and several other technicians from nearby courses who came to help out. Uzar was one of four superintendents from South Florida golf courses working with the students that day. SFHS Principal Dr. Tim Aitken said he loves the "positive publicity from industry connections demonstrating the need for our kids to be experienced and ready to work on the golf courses."
