Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

One Superintendent likes to fish on the surface of the water; another hopes to walk on it. (8/22/17)

Brown grass is not sustainable, but brown soil is sustainable; I say it again, brown grass eventually becomes brown soil,  and all golfers eventually want green grass.

Understanding is different than listening; helping is different than winning. (8/20/17)

It is difficult to wet dry clay, but exceedingly difficult to dry wet clay. (8/19/17)

One Superintendent looks for the strength to make it through the day; another looks for the wisdom to rest. (8/18/17)

Golfers fill a course with revenue; children fill it with laughter. (8/17/17)

People are not numbers; children are never statistics. (8/16/17)

A prideful Superintendent makes extravagant excuses to explain his mistakes; a confident one hopes to expose his own simplicity. (8/15/17)

A young Superintendent searches for free time; a wise one understands all time is free and gives thanks for the past, present, and future. (8/14/17)

Some things are difficult to explain; some things make no sense. (8/13/17)

[A staff member brings in some donuts.  The box also contains a hot dog (cooked, but no bun)?  He has no explanation for the hot dog.  We eat all the donuts, but throw-out the hot dog.]
