Director of Golf

Those people who are part of golf in Becker know that we have seen Jeremy Lupinek depart for a job with Ping Golf in Arizona. Although we wish Jeremy well in his new pirsuit he has left a large void to fill at Pebble Creek. Jeremy did a great job and will be missed. Upon learning of his decision the city immediately started the recruiting process. An advertisement was accomplished and the notice period for applications began. We received approximately 40 applications for the position and these were reviewed and scored to bring the most qualified applicants to the top of the list. After further review 6 candidates were brought in for interviews. After conducting these interviews the list was reduced to three candidates. The final interview was conducted with department heads and council members sitting on three panels for rounds of interviews. It was noted we had three very qualified candidates and any one of them would have done a great job. During this final selection process one of three candidates dropped out leaving the city with the choice of the two remaining candidates.

In the end the council chose Troy Malo, a PGA Professional presently working in Deer Run Golf Course in Victoria, MN. Troy's formal education includes a Bachelor on Business Administration with majors in marketings and management from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. He also has a PGA Professional Golf Management Graduate degree.

Troy's most recent experience has been with Deer Run where he has been working for the last 9 years. Prior to that he worked in various capacities at Baker National Golf Course for three years. His formal title at Deer Run was Business Manager/Assist Golf Professional. Troy brings a number of great ideas with him to improve operations and provide a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
He will be starting at Pebble Creek in mid-November. We welcome Troy Malo as a member of our community and look forward to his leadership at Pebble Creek Golf Course.
