MEET OUR GREENSKEEPER - ZACH BURRIS

Zach has managed the T-Bar Ranch Kennel, performed grounds maintenance and assisted in farming and ranching operations in Havana for 15 years. He moved to Havana three years ago to assist his father with cattle. His hobbies include hunting, fishing, cooking and spending time with family and friends.
