Turf Travels: Liam’s Journey to Hyde Park

Welcome Our Turfgrass Intern: Liam Bregan

Liam Bregan

Dear Members,

We are thrilled to introduce Liam Bregan, who joins us from the Ohio Intern Program, who will be joining the Hyde Park Golf & Country Club team this April as a Turfgrass Intern for the season. Liam hails from a small town in England called Frinton-On-Sea, where he began his Greenkeeping career as an apprentice. His passion for turf management quickly grew, setting him on a path that has led him to work at some of the world’s top facilities.

Since leaving his home course, Liam has gained invaluable experience working at The London Stadium (West Ham United), Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Training Ground, and most recently, Kauri Cliffs Golf Course in New Zealand. As a dedicated Tottenham fan, working at the club’s stadium and training facility was a dream come true (apologies to any Arsenal supporters out there!). Now, he is eager to bring his knowledge and skills to Hyde Park, embracing the opportunity to learn from Pat O'Brien Grounds Superintendent and the team during this exciting phase of restoration.

Liam arrives at a pivotal time for the club, as we continue the course restoration project. He is excited to contribute, gain hands-on experience with large-scale course management, and bring fresh ideas from his past experiences. His enthusiasm for learning and dedication to turf management will undoubtedly make him a valuable addition to our team.

Outside of work, Liam has a passion for travel. Over the past few years, he has explored much of Europe, indulging in its diverse cuisine—he confirms it’s much better than English food! While he enjoys playing golf when time allows, he admits that he’s better suited to maintaining courses rather than playing them!

Please join us in welcoming Liam to Hyde Park Golf & Country Club. He looks forward to meeting everyone and fully immersing himself in American culture.

Best regards,

Pat O'Brien

Grounds Superintendent
