Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

One Superintendent believes there is something wrong with himself; another believes there is something wrong with everyone else…there is danger in both, but peace in one.  (1/14/19)

A young Superintendent enjoys his labor; a wise one enjoys himself. (1/13/18)

Being alone on a golf course is different than being alone; being alone in nature is different than being by yourself.  (1/12/18)

One Superintendent sees the squalor of his surroundings; another sees the richness of his life. (1/11/19)

A young Superintendent wears himself out to gain money, but a wise one has the wisdom to employ restraint;  I say it again, a young Superintendent wears himself out to impress others, but a wise one has the wisdom to understand no one is watching.  (1/10/19)

Many people are enthralled with the idea of being thin; a golf course superintendent dreads it. (1/9/19)

A special golf course lies on a special property, but a special property does not make a special golf course; a special golfer has a special mind, but a special mind does not make a special golfer. (1/8/19)

If you give a simple Superintendent nothing to do, he will likely live a joyful and contented life; if you give a creative one nothing to do, he might change the world.  (1/7/19)

A young Superintendent looks into the woods and finds weakness in his lack of confidence; an old one looks at nature and finds encouragement in his doubt. (1/6/19)

A thoughtful Superintendent gives gifts to his friends to strengthen relationships; a wise one gives gifts to his friend’s children to endear hearts. (1/5/19)   [Thanks Beth and Canada]
