Change of Blog Title

For those handful of people that check out my blog, you might have noticed I have changed the title of it, since the direction of the old title didn't really match what I was writing about.  The original idea was really to talk about the golf business itself, players, course layouts, the way courses were setup for daily play, how it might have affected their bottom lines, and/or introduced new players, golf equipment, and other items that might or might not of pertained to golf course maintenance.  But as I noticed, I really didn't get out into the golf world outside of my own little world, of my golf course.  I also was avoiding talking about maintenance aspects, because I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

But as I noticed when I would make a blog post, it usually had to do with something that was happening on the golf course, and not always going how I would have hoped.  So after some thought, I came up with a new title: The Follies of an Average Superintendent.  One of the definitions of Folly is "A stupid mistake"  Well I make those pretty regularly, so that sounds about right for part of my title.  Now I might be giving myself too much credit as far as being an average superintendent, but I do think with our resources, our clientele, our facility fits in the average category.

So with renewed focus, I plan to showcase what I'm trying to do on the course.  I pick up good ideas from those improving their facilities, their playing conditions, and I want to try to see if those ideas can work for us.

With support from my boss Lucy and my family Cindy and Nicholas, I thank you for your continued reading and I hope when you have seen a folly of mine turn bad, you will make suggestions to how I can avoid them, unless that is, I'm entertaining with my follies.  Thanks for reading!
