membership:15 years

Tournament
advice:A
traditional-style course in a heavily wooded setting, the premium
is on driving accuracy and overall course management at
SilverHorn. "There aren't many options if you aren't in the
fairway off the tee," Thrailkill says. "Also, we're
going to be very aggressive with our green speeds."
Thrailkill on
Thrailkill:"I've
been there and done a lot in almost 20 years of being around
several different kinds of golf courses. But I've always been a
hands-on type of guy. I enjoy getting out on the golf course and
physically doing things. As I get older, that's my release from
sitting behind a computer and the role of a regional
superintendent. I like to empower my staff members and delegate
them so they take a sense of ownership in the golf course."
