Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

A young Superintendent tries to make deals with nature; an experienced one tries to be grateful for the things he gets. (6/24/19)

Words are like fire without flame. (6/23/19)

Nature’s truth is different than man’s convenience.  (6/22/19)

A Golf Course Superintendent is an entertainer without presence.  (6/20/19)

A young Superintendent seeks wisdom from a successful man; an old one seeks wisdom from a wise man. (6/19/19)

One Superintendent looks for crew members with knowledge and experience, and another looks for crew members with passion and energy; I say it again, one Superintendent looks for staff that know how to work, and another looks for staff that want to work. (6/18/19)

One Superintendent looks for doors of opportunity in his career; another looks for doors of opportunity in his heart. (6/17/19)

A young Superintendent fights to create his version of the story; a wise one is willing to yield to another. (6/16/19)

One Superintendent worries about missing moments that can never be replaced; another tries to enjoy that which is past, and that which is now, and that which is to come.  (6/15/19)
