• "[Regarding the 'Morris Method' for green speed management] ... Mike Morris took a problem, created a solution, and not only improved customer satisfaction at Crystal Downs Country Club, but in sharing his solution improved putting surfaces and customer satisfaction around the world."

    Dr. Thomas Nikolai, Michigan State University

  • “Michael Morris is an engaging, relevant, and competent teacher in topics related to the quality management of a golf course facility. His skill set and knowledge base is diverse and includes a strong expertise in optimizing ball roll on golf greens. I have participated in workshops with Mike and have seen him present on numerous occasions and highly recommended him as a excellent instructor.”

    Roch Gaussion, PhD, University of Nebraska Lincoln

  • “Mike Morris has worked with me for several years in the area of turf quality, green speed and improved playability. Mike is one of the most experienced and qualified greenkeepers with whom I have worked. In recent years he and I have provided "double act" seminars to the Georgia Chapter of GCSAA with great success. On several other occasions, Mike has presented to groups of superintendents whom we have assembled with the intention of improving their appreciation of green speed and communications.”

    Stephen Bernhard, Executive Chairman of Bernhard and Company Ltd, UK

  • “Mike is patient, loyal, organized and a good listener—traits that prompt people to trust him and follow his lead.  Mike has the ability to form a cohesive team and lead the way to a successful accomplishment of goals. In addition, Mike has a skill of breaking problems into parts, establishing priorities and getting from point A to point B.  That may sound simple, but over my years I’ve found that very few people truly know how to get things done.  They are easily frustrated and don’t have the persistence to grind though the issues and finish a task without someone pushing and leading them to the end.”

    David Rosenberger, Rosenberger Law Group, Birmingham, MI and former Green Chair at Crystal Downs Country Club

  • “Mike is an extremely detailed and progressive professional. I relied on Mike for advice on many things as a Superintendent and he is looked to by many in the MiGCSA as a leader in the Golf Industry.”

    Adam Ikamas, Executive Director at Michigan Golf Course Superintendents Association

  • “Thanks so much for your recent contribution to the GCM article about the education webinars. You and Thom were always great presenters and fun to work with too.”

    Lisa Wick, Sr Manager E-Learning Programs, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America

  • "There are few professionals in this business that combine Mike's operational insight, copassion, kindness, and analytical ability."

    Dr Frank Rossi, Cornell University
