PHIL GREFRATH
MAINTENANCE
Phil has been a cornerstone of Sports Field Solutions (SFS) since 2016, starting as a Cultural Practices Specialist. A veteran in turfgrass management, Phil's journey in the industry commenced in 2006, accompanied by a Bachelor's Degree in Horticulture from Missouri State University.
Prior to his leadership role at SFS, Phil made significant contributions at a distinguished DFW golf course, where his responsibilities included overseeing and executing crucial tasks such as aerations, top dressings, and verticutting. His breadth of experience extends across varied landscapes, from high-end golf courses to the iconic fields of professional baseball. Phil's career reached a pinnacle when he realized his childhood dream of being part of the groundscrew for a major league baseball team, the Red Sox.
What sets Phil apart is not just his technical proficiency but also his appreciation for the collaborative spirit of the industry. He loves that industry is willing to provide their knowledge with no judgement.
Originally from Jefferson City, Missouri, Phil's interests extend beyond the professional sphere. Whether enjoying a round of golf, caring for his yard, or spending time with his wife, Rebecca, two daughters, Mary and Annie, and his Golden Retriever, Riggins, Phil embraces a well-rounded approach to life.
Phil not only brings a wealth of expertise in turfgrass management but also epitomizes the mission and values that define SFS.
