Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

One Superintendent works at a low-budget golf course, because it is the only job he can find; another works at a low-end golf course, because he is afraid of failing.  (3/25/19)

At times, it is easy to confuse belief with hope.  (3/24/19)

A garden and a golf course have this in common: they are tamed versions of nature. (3/23/19)

One Superintendent abandons his course when he finds no worth in his efforts, and another abandons his life when he finds no worth in his self; I say it again, one Superintendent leaves his course when he finds no worth in his efforts, and another leaves the earth when he finds no worth in his being.  (3/22/19)

A misguided Superintendent talks about being with friends; an experienced one talks to the people he is with.  (3/21/19)

One Superintendent sees the end of  winter in a blooming forsythia;  another feels the beginning of spring in a vibrant moss. (3/20/19)

A young Superintendent uses words that make him seem smart, but an experienced one uses words that make others feel smart; I say it again, a young Superintendent uses words that make him seem smart, but a wise one uses caution to avoid making others feel stupid.  (3/19/19)

One Superintendent finds joy in refreshing the course; another finds refreshment in refreshing others. (3/18/19)

Many visionaries end-up with a tale full of toil and sorrow; a few end-up with a life full of riches and joy. (3/17/19)

Pressurizing an irrigation system creates some pressure. (3/16/19)
