Brief
History:
During 4 years studying Agricultural Engineering
at the University National of La Plata, where
I realized my true vocation was to be a Golf
courses Designer, course running only in the
UK. So, I decided to take this way. Previously,
I needed to get experience in maintenance and
construction of golf courses, with the pillar
that designing and maintenance go by the hand
in the construction of a field. What led me
to work at Sierra de la Ventana Golf Club, where
I took my first steps. Then moved to Buenos
Aires to complete an internship of Golf Courses
Maintenance, issued by the Argentina Golf Association
(AAG).
At the end of the internship, trip to England
targeting to get St Andrews, Scotland, where
golf was born and learn from this wonderful
course and its roots.
In order to survive in England
and get more knowledge in the maintenance
of golf courses, I began to look jobs in some
of its fields. Fortunately for the hand of
an English friend, I found work as a greenkeeper
at Wisley Golf Club. Club located south of
London, where I worked for 3 years and learned
most of the concepts of course maintenance,
this being a top international field, designed
by Robert Trent Jones Junior.

Then, I moved to St Andrews, Scotland, hired
by the firm St Andrews Links Trust as a greenkepper,
where works on the Old Course for The Open 2005
and the construction of The Castle Course at
St Andrews Links. Learning about the preparation
of a course for a grand slam tournament, as
the Open at St Andrews is. Also learned on golf
course construction, having the opportunity
to work in a construction of The Castle Course,
designed by David McLay Kidd Design
After St Andrews, got
the succeeds in entering to study the career
of “ Professional Golf Courses Design."
Course given by the European Institute of
Golf Course Architects, at five education
centers in Europe: University of London: England
/ Deula, Kempen: Germany / University of Dublin:
Ireland / Dom Pedro Resort: Portugal and the
University of St Andrews, Scotland. Getting
a scholarship from the Royal and Ancient Golf
Club of St Andrews (R & A). Institution
to which I am eternally grateful for their
help and support of the Argentina Golf Association,
which allowed me to finish my studies.
With the completion of the course at the University
of St Andrews on 2009, I returned to Argentina
to start working. Currently working on the
design of golf courses and renovations of
existing fields.
