Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

Working on a golf course is different than playing golf; living is different than being alive.  (2/19/20)

A young Superintendent worries when he gets sick (who will take care of the course when he is off?); an old Superintendent worries when he realizes he will not feel well again (who will take care of the course when he is gone?) (2/18/20)

A good golf course is different than a challenging golf course; a profitable golf course is different than a good golf course. (2/17/20)

One Superintendent tells people what to do throughout the day; another tells people what to do while at work. (2/16/20)

A young Superintendent believes he is accomplished at telling the truth; an experienced one believes he is a skilled at telling lies. (2/15/20)

At times, installing an irrigation sprinkler is the same as adding a drain, but in reverse.  (2/14/20)

One Superintendent believes he is who he thinks he is; another believes he is who he is destined to be.  (2/13/20)

Sometimes, a small kindness in a terrible situation is better than a great kindness in a wonderful situation. (2/12/20)

A young Superintendent hopes to find freedom in gaining control; an experienced one hopes to find freedom in giving it up. (2/11/20)

One Superintendent is content to observe the ways of nature; another is destined to participate in the unfolding of dawn. (2/10/20)
