Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

Hoses and herbicides have this in common: more is not necessarily better. (8/16/18)

A Superintendent who enjoys aerification is brother to a man who enjoys a headache. (8/15/18)

Stressing greens before aerification is like fasting before a marathon. (8/14/18)

A Superintendent who does not play golf is like a golf professional who does not mow grass; a Superintendent who does not understand the game of golf is like a golf professional who does not understand the practice of golf maintenance. (8/13/18)

A Superintendent who employs nature finds some satisfaction; one who is employed by nature overflows with joy. (8/12/18)

Losing a head-key is different than losing a job; losing a loved one is different than both. (8/11/18)

One Superintendent exposes his depression in outbursts of anger; another hides his in billows of laughter. (8/10/18)

A young Superintendent plans to build his house in the woods; an experienced one hopes nature builds its house in him. (8/9/18)

When a Superintendent has trouble taking care of the employees, his employees have trouble taking care of  the golfers. (8/8/18)

The danger of never being alone is never being alone; the danger of being alone is being alone. (8/7/18)
