This pretty much comprises every reason why I love being a golf course superintendent. @GCSAA @golfDWGR

Turf Quiz….what’s going on here? Please visit these wonderful folks that support my turf quiz! @turfnet @TantoIrrigation @TerraRadTech . Thank you!

@spartangrass @aldarragc Sorry, if it's not hand trimmed with a bic razor it doesn't count. The real ones shave their turf now.

Let’s talk details. @aldarragc

@PNUTdaCaddie @TheGCSNetwork Very kind of you to say!

@WyoJared @TheGCSNetwork Man This is AWESOME!!! The type of guy you want to kick butt and work hard for !! #Teamwork

This was a fun conversation! Check out the great stuff on @TheGCSNetwork!

@jminceyturf I've hired guys with 4 year degrees from the big schools, and 2 year certificates from no-name schools. The only thing that truly mattered to their overall success was the desire to work hard and keep learning. The Master's degree is earned on the job.

Another question and it’s one that I’ve been asked. Do you guys think a 4 year turf degree is as necessary as it was years ago to go after premier jobs? Or can a combo of a 2 year degree or certificate+experience yield the same results?

@TroyManOfSteele @Sub70 Nice!!!

Thank you @Sub70 for the new setup! Can’t wait to get out and hit them!

@stevewave @TheGCSNetwork Thanks, bud.

What a nice gift to open this morning! Thanks @brianjlaurent and @TheGCSNetwork! The quality of work you are doing is elevating our entire profession. Keep up the excellent work! ⛳️🏌‍♂️

@TheGCSNetwork @DoerflerJared @HannaGolfCo Nice! Can't wait to get my hands on a @HannaGolfCo putter!

Fun little story here…I reached out to @DoerflerJared of @HannaGolfCo a few weeks ago about getting a putter with our logo etched in it. I love supporting other small businesses and love what he’s doing in the golf space. Jared replied and was very honest about the workload in front of him and that it could be a while until they could accommodate custom orders. Totally understandable as they’re building their new company. Looking to upgrade the flat stick for the season, I went ahead and ordered one anyway. Today, my putter arrived and I was completely shocked to look at the bottom and see the SN logo etched into my new Amarillo. Big thanks to Jared and the Hanna Golf team for this incredible surprise. Best wishes for continued growth!

Men's Invitational is off to the races!

Mornings in the desert do not disappoint.

@PatJonesTweets Congrats, Pat. And thank you, for being open and honest about your journey. When I was ready to quit drinking I had very few people to ask for advice in the beginning, but you were one of them. Thank you so much for helping me change my life.

I quit drinking 15 years ago today. Most of y’all know the story by now. It was 2009 and I had been spiraling downward for years thanks to a combination of depression and alcohol. My wonderful boss offered me the opportunity to get sober and the idea just clicked in my booze-addled brain. It was, quite simply, an epiphany from my very first day of treatment. I am incredibly lucky because I haven’t had a serious thought about taking a drink since that moment of clarity 5,475 days ago. My message to you, as always, is that if you’re worried about overdoing booze or pills, talk to someone. Don’t wait anymore. Find an AA meeting, sit your ass down and listen. You’ll quickly discover there are lots of people like you who’ve faced this shit head on and now seem to be living nice normal lives without the chaos of addiction. When you’re ready, tell your story honestly and ask them what you should do to stay sober. Then take that advice. Don’t overthink it. Just do it. And remember, sobriety is cool. Something else happened during those life-changing few weeks a decade and a half ago: I met a woman named Kim Metheny. We connected via Match shortly after I got sober. She claims she was just looking for a date to a Christmas party, not a soulmate. Yet, that’s exactly what she was for me then and still is today. She’s my best friend too. We’ve been on some amazing adventures, we laugh a lot, and we’ve combined a couple of families into a big crazy collection of kids and grandkids. Mrs. Jones is creative, artistic, hilarious, hard-working and kind. She even has a way cooler job than me. She helps run an amazing non-profit called BigHearted Blooms that delivers thousands of bouquets of repurposed flowers to people who need a little joy in their life. She’s also gorgeous. After 15 years of sobriety, I’m incredibly grateful for the life I have. But I am most grateful for the woman I share it with. I love you baby…and thanks.

Getting a little better each day. 🤠⛳️
