Chris Lincoln, General Manager
Chris Lincoln was named Wawenock’s general manager on Sept. 19, 2025. A familiar face to many, Chris served as the pro shop manager for the past two seasons and has been a dedicated club member for over 25 years.
A native of the Camden area, Chris grew up playing various sports, with cross-country running emerging as a particular strength. His interest in golf began at a young age when his grandfather gifted him a set of clubs, complete with a classic wooden driver. That early spark led to a membership at Rockland Golf Course and a lifelong passion for the game.
After graduating from high school, Chris briefly attended King’s College in New York before taking a different path. He gained valuable experience working at the Samoset Resort and spent a year in Las Vegas before returning to Maine’s Midcoast, where he settled in Nobleboro with his wife, Kerri. Together, they raised three children—Kassie, Jalen, and Kobe—all graduates of Lincoln Academy. His two sons proudly played on the LA golf team.
Coaching has played a central role in Chris’s life for many years. Even before becoming a parent, he began coaching youth sports and continued to do so throughout his children’s upbringing, sharing countless memorable moments from the sidelines. During that time, he also found a close-knit golf group whose schedule aligned with his coaching commitments. That group—affectionately known around the club as the “mafia”—remains an essential part of his golf life today.
The friendships and connections Chris has built at Wawenock over the years inspired him to pursue this leadership role. With a deep appreciation for the club’s community and potential, he is enthusiastic about contributing to its continued growth and success.
Greg Dalot, Course Superintendent
Greg Dalot is the Course Superintendent at Wawenock. Originally from the small town of Wilton, Maine—nestled between Farmington and Jay—Greg spent his childhood playing sports and enjoying the outdoors. He attended Mt. Blue High School, where he played football for four years and ran track during his senior year. He went on to earn a B.S. in Sport Management from Thomas College in Waterville, Maine.
During the summer between his junior and senior year of college, Greg worked in Boothbay Harbor and developed a deep appreciation for Maine’s coast—a stark contrast to the inland foothills of Wilton where he grew up. After graduating, he moved to Walpole and, by coincidence, lived on Split Rock Road for several years.
Greg began his career at Wawenock in 2004 and married his wife, Meilinh, in 2005. Since then, he has continued his professional education in the turf industry, earning his 3B Pesticide Applicator license in 2006 and achieving his Master’s Applicator license in November 2023. In 2009, Greg and Meilinh purchased a home in Bremen, where they continue to reside.
With over 15 years at Wawenock, Greg has come to cherish the community and the unique character of the course. He often reflects on how fortunate he feels to work in a place surrounded by such welcoming and fascinating individuals. For Greg, Wawenock is more than a workplace—it’s a place where passion and profession seamlessly align.
