Paul MacCormack: The Mindful Superintendent
Paul MacCormack knows firsthand the toll that stress can take on a person. Early in his career, he pushed himself to the brink, eventually working himself to the point of burnout and losing his job.
But with the support of his wife, Paul found a lifeline in writing. She encouraged him to express his thoughts and emotions on paper, providing an outlet for his anxiety and a way to process the overwhelming pressures of his work.
Fast forward ten years, and Paul’s journey has not only transformed his life but also inspired many others. With the help of TurfNet Founder Peter McCormick, Paul launched his blog, The Mindful Superintendent. This platform has since become a valuable resource for golf course superintendents across North America, offering insights and strategies for managing the unique set of daily challenges they face.
In an exclusive interview with Syngenta Golf, Paul shares the origins of his blog, discusses its impact on the superintendent community, and offers advice for those struggling with the demands of turf and team management.
