Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

A foolish Superintendent and a wise one have this in common: they are practiced at playing the role of an ignorant man.  (4/14/19)

One Superintendent hungers to be rich, but underestimates the cost of wealth; another longs to be creative, but misjudges the burden of creativity. (4/13/19)

Not all gold is gold. (4/12/19)    […into our last container of Embark.]

‘Almost’ is a ray of hope and a sword of despair. (4/11/19)

The things a Superintendent thinks about his course are sometimes distant from the truth, but at times, they are the truth no one else can see. (4/10/19)

One Superintendent searches for deep truths; another is satisfied with average truths. (4/9/19).

One Superintendent worries that no one understands him; another worries that everyone understands him. (4/8/19)

Talking about things that are fascinating is different than talking about things that are troubling. (4/7/19)

One Superintendent leaves his course because nothing is acceptable, and another leaves his course because everything is acceptable; I say it again, one Superintendent retires because he finds fault with everything and another retires because he finds fault with nothing. (4/6/19)

One Superintendent finds it difficult to be with someone who knows him, and another finds it difficult to be with someone who does not know him; I say it again, one Superintendent finds it difficult to be with someone who knows him, and another finds it difficult to be with someone who does not want to know him.
