Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

A wise Superintendent discovers the secrets of nature, but a fool looks into the woods and sees only a tree. (8/13/19)

One Superintendent searches for truth at the risk of sacrificing peace; another searches for peace at the risk of sacrificing truth.  (8/12/19)

It is difficult to accept a truth that contradicts a thought, but exceedingly difficult to accept a truth that contradicts a feeling. (8/11/19)

One golfer walks around the course and learns a lot about nature and another walks around the course and learns a lot about nothing;  I say it  again, one Superintendent drives around the course and learns a lot about nature and another drives around the course and learns a lot about forgiveness. (8/10/19)

A young Superintendent strives to avoid judgement and an old one strives to develop ideals; I say it again, a misguided Superintendent aims to avoid ideals and a wise one aims to develop judgement. (8/9/18)

A young Superintendent is brave because he does not know where he is going, but is willing to give it a try; an old one is brave because he knows where he is going, but is willing to go there again. (8/8/19)

Living the dream is different than believing the dream.  (8/7/19)

One Superintendent does a terrible thing because he is in a terrible situation; another does a terrible thing because he experiences a moment of being terrible.  (8/6/19).

A young Superintendent wants to gather riches, but an experienced one wants to gather enough for the day; I say it again, a young Superintendent wants to avoid poverty, and a wise one wants to avoid wealth.  (8/5/19)

There is a big difference in telling someone the things you know and talking with someone to figure things out. (8/4/19)
