New Year and New Faces at Golf Course Maintenance

I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself and my Assistant Superintendent, Dylan Payne to the membership.  We are both excited to be a part of the Stonehenge GCM Team and are looking forward to the upcoming golf season.  Please feel free to stop and chat if you see us out on the course.


Chad is a Virginia native and began working on golf courses at an early age.  He attended Horry Georgetown Technical College in Myrtle Beach, SC to pursue his love of turf and landscaping.  It was there that he obtained an Associates in Agriculture concentrated on Golf and Sports Turf Management.  Chad has eighteen years’ experience in the turf industry, with the majority of that time at upscale private golf clubs throughout Virginia and North Carolina.   
During his career, Chad has been involved in the construction and grow in of two golf courses in the Transition Zone. He also has experience with a wide variety of turf types as well as numerous renovations.  Most recently, Chad has served as the Golf Course Superintendent on the Manakin Course at Hermitage Country Club.  He also is currently on the Board of Directors for the Old Dominion Golf Course Superintendent Association.  Chad is happily married to his wife, Cari.  They have four beautiful children; Lucas, Easton, Holden and Everly Rose.  
Dylan is a native of Fredricksburg, Virginia and developed his passion for turf management while working at Medal of Honor Golf Course at MCB Quantico during high school.  While pursuing a B.S. in Crop and Soil Sciences concentrated in Turf Management at Virginia Tech he interned at Fredricksburg Country Club and Blacksburg Country Club.  After graduating he relocated to Richmond, Virginia and accepted an Assistant in Training position at Hermitage Country Club under Superintendent, Chad Karr.  
Dylan has close to eight years’ experience in the turf industry at both public and high-end private clubs working with multiple grass schemes.  He gained construction experience during renovations to greens, tees, and bunkers at both Hermitage and Blacksburg Country Club.  Dylan lives in Richmond with his wife Samantha and their son Emerson.
