Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

A young Superintendent stands among a quite crew and smiles at the absence of problems; a wise one stands among a silent crew and searches for the voice pleading for help. (1/9/18)

One Superintendent leaves work early, but never arrives home; another stays late, but is always with his family.  (1/8/18)

Irony coupled with sadness tends to prompt anger. (1/7/18)

Safety takes years; an accident takes a second. (1/6/18)

A young Superintendent shouts into the wind and expects a response; an old one mumbles into the breeze and anticipates only silence. (1/5/18)

A person who believes geese are not a nuisance is a person who does not play golf.  A golfer who believes geese are not a nuisance is a golfer who has never worked on a golf course.  A greenkeeper who believes geese are not a nuisance is a greenkeeper who needs to re-evaluate the meaning of ‘nuisance’.   (1/4/18)

One Superintendent looks for ways to cast-off his problems; another looks for ways to carry some. (1/3/17)

When a golf course closes for a day, the ‘vandals’ will play. (1/2/18)

At times, a Superintendent is cast down a path of destiny, from which, he has no recourse, and to which, he will suffer a deep tragedy. (1/1/18)

It is difficult to stop a dream. (12/31/17)
