In the news Capilano’s Nick Daley named top assistant golf superintendent Nick Daley, senior assistant superintendent at the Capilano Golf and Country Club in West Vancouver, has been named CGSA/ Toro assistant superintendent of the year for 2023. The announcement was made by the Canadian Golf Superintendents Association and The Toro Com-pany, which co-sponsor the award. The award recognizes the specific achievements of a golf course assistant superintendent whose performance and contributions to the success of the facility go beyond those that would normally be expected. The award is presented to an individual who has contributed to his or her golf facility in a significant way and who has demonstrated professionalism, leadership, innovation and a team approach in their work. Daley has been a CGSA member since 2019 and he has been in the golf course industry since 2013. He is going into his fifth season with the Capilano Golf and Country Club. Prior to Capilano, he was second assistant superintendent from 2017-2018 at Nicklaus North Golf Course. He graduated with his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree with honours from the University of Canberra, Australia in 2009 and has also completed online certificates with Ohio State University (golf course manage-ment) and Penn State University (turf management). Stuart Sheridan, Capilano superintendent, nominated Daley for this award. Daley has been Sheridan’s right-hand man since he was hired in 2019. Sheridan promoted him to assistant super-intendent after stepping into the superintendent position and then to senior assistant superintendent in 2021. “I needed to have someone I could trust on-site at all times,” Sheridan said. “Nick continues to push himself to develop as a person, leader, and industry professional.” P H O T O : D ALE Y.
