Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

Without friends and family, devastation is devastating; I say it again, a Superintendent who has friends and family is prone to devastating devastation.  (6/13/17)

A wise Superintendent works to humble himself; a fool waits for nature’s guiding hand. (6/12/17)  [After reminding the spray technician/assistant about leaving ‘skips’, I miss three or four passes…clogged pump screen…Ouch.]

A young Superintendent believes he controls many things; an experienced one knows he can barely control himself. (6/11/17)

A second without time is like an eternity with a clock. (6/10/17)

A young Superintendent believes his hectic schedule forces him to be callously blunt; an experienced one believes his busy day requires him to be meticulously explicit. (6/9/17)

At some point, a Superintendent with many hang-ups start to hang them on other people. (6/8/17)

A young Superintendent tries to make his course challenging and noteworthy; a wise one tries to make his fun and profitable. (6/7/17)

One Superintendent burdens others so he can find freedom; other men burden themselves so others can search for freedom.  (6/6/44)

A young Superintendent aims to speak with intelligence; a wise one hopes to speak without pride. (6/5/17)

Not all civilians are civil. (6/4/17)
