Six things a Superintendent should strive to experience and seven he must:

– overseed in the desert southwest;
– preparing for a PGA tour event;
– constructing and establishing a new golf course;
– spending a winter on a course buried under snow;
– publishing a research project;
– working at a low-budget golf course;
– and, being unjustly terminated and struggling to support a family. [12/28/13]
