Nufarm hires Jeff Eldridge, CGCS, as US golf segment lead
Nufarm added Jeff Eldridge, CGCS, as its new U.S. golf segment lead.
Eldridge is a former director of agronomy at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch, golf course and grounds manager at Lake Quivira Country Club and superintendent for The Nicklaus Club at Lions Gate.
“Jeff’s experience in the golf industry and business background will bring fresh ideas and enthusiasm to our golf segment as we enter into a busy period of new product launches at Nufarm over the next few years,” said Blaine Pinkerton, vice president of turf and ornamental sales in the U.S. for Nufarm.
Eldridge will help lead the launch of several Nufarm turfgrass solutions, including Anuew EZ plant growth regulator, Tourney EZ fungicide and Allstar herbicide.
Most recently, Eldridge served as western region manager for SePRO. He also previously worked as a regional sales manager for Bayer Crop Science.
“With a current innovative portfolio of solutions and pipeline for new technologies coupled with Nufarm’s global relationships for developing technologies, I will be well positioned to support superintendents across the country to meet and exceed the expectations of their members,” said Eldridge.
Last August, Nufarm hired Chris Fronczek as its U.S. golf market manager.
