FINAL CUT
Training is the Best Reward
By Molly Doyle
I n 1990, Warren Wybenga answered a
job ad for the Oshawa Golf and
Curling Club to work on the grounds
crew. Since then, he has completed a
small engine apprenticeship to become an
equipment technician and worked at two
golf clubs before settling down at Donalda
Club in Toronto. He has never looked
back. Wybenga did not think he would
love his job so much; now, he gets to
provide training to his own apprentices,
which he is quickly finding very rewarding
and has become a favourite part of what
he does.
The 43-year-old sat down with Canadian
Groundskeeper to explain he is not quite
ready for retirement, but when the day
comes, he hopes to still be at Donalda.
