Cedaredge Golf Club welcomes new pro and superintendent

Winston Howe

Howe was most recently employed as the PGA head golf professional at Mariana Butte Golf Course in Loveland, where he served for 16 years. He started his PGA career at Denver Country Club. He has also worked for Dye Designs in Denver, Eagles Nest Golf Club in Silverthorne and Mountain View Golf Course in Denver. He grew up in the Pikes Peak region at the Country Club of Colorado and attended Western State College on a golf scholarship.

“Winston is a multifaceted PGA professional with over 25 years’ experience in all aspects of golf club operations,” the town press release said. “He has extensive experience in golf operations management, fiscal planning and analysis, personnel management and the marketing, promotion and implementation of strategies to increase play and maximize revenue. As the past recipient of the Colorado Section Junior Golf Leadership Award, he enjoys teaching and has developed a reputation as an outstanding golf instructor. (He even taught his wife the game!)”

When away from the golf course, Howe can be found near the water. He is a PADI-certified scuba diver, fly fisherman, hiker and avid Bronco fan. He and his wife Terri have six children and four grandchildren, with more on the way.

Scott Jeschke

Jeschke’s career in golf course maintenance began as summer employment in both high school and college at Wolf Run Golf Club in Indiana. Upon graduating from Indiana University, he moved to Missouri and worked at Bellerive Country Club for a few years. Having tired of the Midwestern climate, Jeschke relocated to Arizona and landed in Tucson, where he spent five years at Tucson Country Club, followed by eight years at the Estancia Club in Scottsdale.

As the Arizona summers and annual overseeding began to take their toll, he explored opportunities in the mountains of both Colorado and Montana. Eventually, he ended up at Snowmass Club before coming to Cedaredge.

“I have enjoyed my brief time in Cedaredge and the small town vibe and sense of community,” Jeschke said. “It is a great pleasure to join the staff at Cedaredge Golf Club as superintendent and I truly appreciate the opportunity to maintain and improve the golf course.”

While not working, Scott enjoys being outside, whether it be hiking, mountain biking, camping or fishing.

If the community cannot attend the meet and greet, Howe and Jeschke are available at the pro shop during regular business hours by calling 970-856-7781. More information is available at cedaredgegolf.com and on the golf course’s social media pages.
