John McCarthy, CGCS is currently working as the interim superintendent at Painted Dunes Desert Golf Club in El Paso, TX, hundreds of miles from his home in Georgia. After nine years at his previous club in Georgia, McCarthy was let go as they wanted to go in a new direction. He landed his current job in Texas with help from his connections in the industry. While the job in Texas pays the bills for now, McCarthy coaches youth football back in Georgia where his teams have found great success, just as he has helped clubs succeed in Georgia and now Texas.
