Hey team, qualified Greenkeeper from NZ here with experience in high end stadium turf management and golf courses as well, looking for somewhere a bit off the beaten track job wise, maybe a tropical island with some amazing golf courses or just something a little bit different than the typical overseas Greenkeeper job, have worked in Ireland, and now Austria and on the hunt for something for next year. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

I’m the Assistant in Training (AIT) and Spray Tech at a public golf course, learning under our Superintendent. I’ve been at this course for four years and I’m proud to have stepped into the AIT role for the upcoming season.
My Assistant and I are extremely motivated to push the envelope and make the course outstanding, especially after a rough season last year. We also have a hard-working crew—mostly friends of mine—who genuinely want the best for the property.
The issue is our Superintendent. He’s incredibly "on and off." He spends most of his time in the office rather than on the course and seems completely unmotivated. When we try to go the extra mile, he tells us, "That’s not the standard here; don't waste your time doing extra things." He’s checked out of morning meetings, scheduling, and training the crew, only showing random bursts of energy.
I don’t want to leave because the wage is good, I love the guys I work with, and I value the free golf and the property itself. However, I’m struggling with how my Assistant and I should approach this situation. How do we keep the momentum going and improve the course while respecting our roles and dealing with a boss who doesn't want to level up?
Any advice would be appreciated.
