3.8 Luke Knutson, Superintendent at Rockville Links Club

If you’re one of those people who obsesses over your lawn, take a minute to think about how Luke Knutson feels as Superintendent of the Rockville Links Club. The next time you cut, edge, weed-whack and labor over weeds and insects on your half acre plot, think about what it would take to maintain another 115 acres. Needless to say, you’re going to need more than a green thumb to do this job.

If you were fortunate enough to see some of golf’s legends grace the fairways of Long Island on an annual basis from the late 80’s until the better part of the nineties; then you owe a debt of gratitude to the man who first brought the PGA Tour to Long Island–Gene Bernstein. The former Metropolitan Golf Association President and Northville Industries Corp. Chairman is the man responsible for bringing Long Islanders closer to the legends of the game including the likes of Palmer, Nicklaus, Player and Trevino.

Archive: Season 2 Finale with Bob Bubka- Sirius XM PGA Tour

In this episode Bob Bubka, Woody Lashen, and I talk about the USGA's decision on anchored putting, Shinnecock Hills GC, National Golf Links of America, and golf on Long Island. The golfing world knows Bob Bubka as the voice of the golf world on the SiriusXM PGA Tour channel , but few may know that he grew up in Sag Harbor on the east end of Long Island. Needless to say, Bob is very familiar with all that is great about golf on Long Island. I met Bob at this year’s Barclays tournament at Bethpage and I must say the experience was enlightening. Not only is he a wealth of information about the golf industry and golf on Long Island, but he is a true gentleman as well.
