Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

Understanding a man is different than judging a man. (9/23/22)

Many Superintendents rescue a golf course from disaster, but time erodes a golfer’s memory. (9/22/22)

One Superintendent drinks a beer and tells his wife she is the most beautiful woman in the world and another drinks a beer and tells his wife she is a bitch; I say it again, one Superintendent drinks a beer and rejoices in his success and another drinks a beer and falls into the abyss. (9/21/22)

A young Superintendent keeps track of the fools who roam his golf course; an experienced one knows infinity knows no limits. (9/20/22)

One Superintendent goes into the woods and gives thanks for his separation from the savage animals; another goes into the woods and scrounges food with the wild dogs. (9/19/22)

A young Superintendent stands in pride on his smooth greens; an old one crawls in humility of the morning light. (9/18/22)

One Superintendent falls on his face to plead; another falls on his face to laugh. (9/17/22)

One greenkeeper likes to do the things he likes to do; a special one likes to do the things he does not like to do. (9/16/22)

One Superintendent goes into the woods to hide; another goes into the woods to be seen. (9/15/22)

Expecting the worst is different than hoping for the worst. (9/14/22)
