Tommy Witt is the consummate professional.  What impressed me most about Tommy is his integrity and high standards.  His energy and passion for his craft is unmatched and inspiring to everyone he touches. He really came into a tough situation for us and really exceeded our expectations.  He put together a first rate team and organization that performed at a very high level.  Tommy Witt is one of those special people that challenges but leads by example.

As standing Co-Grounds & Greens Chairman, I've gotten to know Tommy very well.  In working with Tommy, I've had the pleasure to witness, first hand, all the attributes that make for a world class superintendent. His faith, dedication to his family and community, passion for his work, and commitment to Northmoor are all part and parcel of what makes him such a fine superintendent.

Paul Blumberg
Northmoor Country Club Green Chairman 
Tommy has a great ability to share his vision and inspire those around him to achieve it. Whether it is his crew, a small group of committee members or a 20,000+ member association, he leads by example and gets results. He is the consummate professional who will bring much value to any organization that he touches.

Sports Turf Managers Association
I have worked with Mr. Witt on several occasions over the past 20 years, and observed his work on other projects and with other courses.   In all cases, Mr. Witt has displayed discipline, extraordinary ability to manage turfgrass for ideal playing conditions, and been able to communicate effectively to golfers and ownership alike.   To my mind, Mr. Witt is among the top 5 golf course agronomists in the United States.   He has my admiration and highest recommendation.

​E. F. Gowan,

Executive Director, Arizona Golf.

​It has been my pleasure to know Tommy Witt for over the past 15 years and to work closely with him for the past six years while we extensively remodeled Northmoor CC, a Donald Ross original design.  I saw Northmoor go from a nice country club course when Tommy started as Superintendent, to become one of Chicago's finest as far as playing conditions, aesthetics, and attention to detail.    Tommy's many years of experience working at top ranked clubs, along with his mentality as a good golfer, permit him to prioritize his resources and focus on what golfers appreciate most.  He is one of the best in the profession.

The golf course is in such a condition that it could host a major event with very little special preparation. Very simple, Wynstone Golf Club is a championship caliber facility that warrants respect from all those teeing off the first hole. 

The agronomic status of the putting greens was excellent. Having made nearly 1,000 Turf Advisory Service visits during my tenure with the USGA Green Section, I am confident that one cannot find eighteen putting greens in better agronomic condition anywhere in the country.

USGA Agronomist

Tommy has communicated superbly with the Board, members, and management both dimensions of his expertise and the magnitude of the tasks before him. He has endeared himself with his infectious enthusiasm and constant drive to members and staff alike. 

If we are fortunate enough to keep him, we know that within a few seasons Austin Country Club will be known throughout the state for its class but even more so for its golf course.


Bill Hilberth, CCM
General Manager, Austin Country Club

The new ACC course is in great shape and many improvements have been completed. But especially important is the communication between Tommy and the membership. I really do think Tommy would be a great choice for Colonial.

Green Committee Member, Austin Country Club

Tommy Witt and his staff are outstanding at communicating with the Golf Shop staff. The manner in which Tommy has trained his staff to interact positively with my shop staff is not only impressive but much appreciated. 

The turnaround of the Cassique Golf Course since Tommy joined our staff is simply remarkable. 


Michael Fisher
Golf Professional, Kiawah Island Club

Tommy, your ability to maintain our course in tournament condition on a daily basis through the absolute worst weather conditions in decades was amazing. While so many other courses in the Chicago area were devastated and lost revenue because of their poor conditions, we had near perfect golfing conditions.

Bill Webbe
Green Chairman, Wynstone Golf Club

In the last several weeks I had the opportunity to play several prominent courses in the Chicago area such as Medinah, Bob O'Link and Cog Hill. We are Wynstone have, at this writing, the best greens by far of any of the aforementioned courses. 

Wally Grodecki
Member, Wynstone Golf Club

It is the unspoken work that truly promotes a professional.  Tommy’s professionalism is obvious to all those who come into contact with him.  From his professional demeanor around the club, to his presentations to other groups such as CMAA, he is always representing his profession in the highest manner possible.
