(WACO) – Mitch O’Brey, a May 2015 graduate of TSTC’s Golf Course & Landscape Management program, begins a year-long internship at the Augusta National Golf Club today.

The Augusta National Golf Club, located in Augusta, Georgia, is known for being the site of the Masters Golf Tournament. Typically wealthy and accomplished, members include Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Condoleezza Rice.

Joe Todaro, Golf Course & Landscape Management Department Chair, says from day one Mitch said he wanted to work at Augusta National.

“I agreed it would be a wonderful experience, but warned him that a lot of people share that same dream and he might focus on some of the great courses here in Texas,” said Todaro. “One evening I saw a tweet about the Augusta internships.  I shared the tweet with Mitch, who texted back immediately and said he already saw it and was working on his resume!”

O’Brey is excited to begin his internship, and fulfill his dream.

“I’ve always admired Augusta National from watching the Masters year after year,” O’Brey said. “My dream from day one at TSTC was to go to the historic course, and I couldn’t have picked a better school to help me accomplish my dream.”
