Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

Being nice is different than being paid to be nice. (4/4/17)

A young Superintendent finds comfort in filling his equipment with bio-degradable ‘hydraulic’ fluid; a wise one finds peace in filling his heart with the oil of joy. (4/3/17)

Hope is the beginning of a dream. (4/2/17)

All Superintendents are slaves to their masters; some receive their masters by default, others by their own decision.  (4/1/17)

An obligation to speak is different than a compulsion to speak.  (3/31/17)

A young Superintendent seeks to tell a good story; a wise one seeks to be a good story. (3/30/17)

Vacations are like life: too short…but returning home is different than dying…somewhat. (3/29/17).  [First day back from great D.C. vacation with family, but it is always good to be back home and return to work.]

Pro shops sell clothes; maintenance shops destroy them. (3/27/17)  [Time for a new pair of coveralls]

Humility and pain have this in common: they wage war against pride and arrogance. (3/6/17)

The business of golf and the game of golf have this in common:  at times, they are ruthlessly unfair. (3/28/17)
