One Superintendent works to get paid; another works to get understanding. (4/20/19)

When an exclusive golf club opens its doors for a day of public play, one golfer rejoices and another moans; I say it again, when an exclusive club opens its doors for a day of public play, one golfer gives thanks for another man’s generosity and another golfer rails at another man’s duplicity. (4/17/19)

A young Superintendent finds power in his equipment and an experienced one finds strength in the land; I say it again, a young Superintendent finds security in his equipment and an experienced one finds peace in the earth.  (4/16/19)

The clocks of men are different than the clocks of nature. (4/15/19)
