From Tee to Green

Jesse Leech pulls up in a golf car limousine for the photo shoot. Jesse works on a special design team at Club Car in Augusta, Georgia. Jesse studied mechanical design at Griffin Technical College through the drafting program. "It was great; it started off right into the mechanical field from the beginning. I didn't have to wait until my senior class to enter the programs to do what I actually wanted to do. It was really great at Griffin Technical College." After graduation, Jesse worked for Hoshizaki and was trained in the Pro/Engineer program. Mike Howard, a drafting instructor at Griffin Technical College, called on Jesse to help set up the program at Griffin.

"I felt like I had grown a lot in school. You never know how much you really know until you sit down and try to teach somebody else the same thing. It felt good," says Jesse.

Working to design golf cars was Jesse's goal upon graduation. Since October 2000, Jesse has been working for Club Car. When asked what he enjoys most about Club Car, Jesse immediately replies, "I'd say the people. People make the world go around, so I enjoy all the people here. It feels like a family."
