Thoughts From a Foolish Golf Course Superintendent

Cutting with a good saw is better than cutting with a lousy saw; cutting with a lousy saw is better than cutting with no saw. (12/5/20)

One Superintendent anguishes over his failures and another struggles to trust his steps; I say it again, one Superintendent groans over his missed opportunities and another rejoices in the story. (12/5/20)

One Superintendent labors and toils and all his efforts are empty and void; another labors and toils and all his efforts are full of meaning and purpose. (12/4/20)

A young Superintendent wants more; a wise one wants just enough. (12/3/20)

Playing in a fog is different than living in a fog. (12/2/20)

At the end of his career, one Superintendent makes a list of all his accomplishments; another gives thanks for the fortune of spending his days on a golf course. (12/1/20)

Having what others want is different than having what you want; I say it again, having what others want is different than having perfection. (11/30/20)

Nature is patient. (11/29/20)

Truth that brings peace and joy is better than truth that punches you in the gut; truth that punches you in the gut is better than a lie that brings you peace and joy. (11/28/20)

A young Superintendent believes the truth will benefit everyone; an experienced one knows it will help a few. (11/27/20)
