Quali-Pro hires former superintendent to cover Mid-Atlantic

Quali-Pro announced the hiring of Ralph Meola as Mid-Atlantic territory manager. Meola spent the last 17 years as the golf course superintendent at the Elkridge Club in Baltimore, Maryland, where he incorporated Quali-Pro products into his programs.

“After many years of being a Quali-Pro end user and seeing firsthand how their products have held up through the rigorous Mid-Atlantic weather conditions, I am proud to join the innovative team at Quali-Pro and look forward to assisting turf managers for years to come,” Meola said.

Meola, who started his career with an internship at Augusta National Golf Club, earned an associate’s degree in landscape management & design from County College of Morris (New Jersey), and a two-year turf certificate for golf course management from Penn State. He will report to Allan Fulcher, vice president of turf/Quali-Pro Division.

“We are excited to bring Ralph’s passion and knowledge to the team and look forward to his help in the continued growth of the business,” Fulcher said.
