***********************************************
Greg
Bean's career in golf course work started at the age of eighteen
as a member of the Orleans Country Club grounds crew staff. After
graduating from high school Greg attended college where he earned his
associates degree in science. Greg continued to work on the grounds

and shortly after that took his first
Superintendent job at a nine hole private club in New York. Greg
returned to Orleans Country Club as the assistant Superintendent to
Rick Hoyt in 1996.
Greg took over the duties as Superintendent at Orleans starting in the
spring of 2001. Over the years Greg, Rick and the staff have brought
many positive improvements to the course including: the construction of
new greens and tee boxes, the addition of new sand bunkers, the
installation of a new irrigation system and pump system, and the
enlargement of the irrigation pond behind the 15th green.
Greg is an active member of both the Golf Course Superintendents
