Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

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]

A young Superintendent wonders about the price he will pay, but an old one knows the pain; I say it again, a young Superintendent wonders about the excitement he will experience, but an old one knows the joy. (1/4/18)

A Superintendent who listens to lies heaps misery on his course. (12/3/19)

A Superintendent who believes in himself and one who believes in others have two things in common:  1) they are susceptible to falter because of their beliefs, and 2) they have more joy than a man who believes in no one.  (1/2/19)
