About BellaRojo

BellaRojo, is the twitter name and blog of (me) Matt Sumpter, an assistant golf course superintendent. On my blog you'll find postings mostly about golf course maintenance topics and other interesting topics related to my profession.

I went to Purdue University, studied Turf Science and had internships at Indiana National, Kinloch Golf Club, Victoria National, and Medinah Country Club. I also did a study abroad in Wales, an experience to remember.

Through my time and travels, I have learned the greatest asset to a person or company is people. As a manager, I'm always listening and watching for ways to become a better leader and/or manager. Teamwork, is the real ingredient to success, 2 heads will always be better than one.

The purpose of my blog is to share thoughts and little unique projects. I'm a firm believer in using the simple tools available to us to improve our daily jobs and maximize our efficiency. My little projects are built and used in ways to make big improvements to anybody's course for little or no cost.

My passion is taking something ordinary and making it extraordinary. Growing up, I would help my dad rebuild wrecked cars out in our barn. Quality was our pride, common sense was our guide, and passion for cars was our fuel. I found my career niche in turf thanks to my high school secretary, Sherry Lichtenberger. Somehow, she knew a small town kid from Indiana would love this job. Thank you.
