Palmer played her first 9 of the year at +3. She hasn’t played in a while but has been working hard practicing and surprised herself. Still searching for her first birdie of the year but had excellent chances for back-to-back on #13 & # 14 today. Good stuff!

Did you know the average age of today's golf course superintendent is 46.5? A particular super turns 46 today which is right on that average. Gives me some peace about my son pursuing turf as there will be a lot of opportunity when this generation of supers moves out to pasture.
