What an amazing job/career. Damn, these are the days when you think of how lucky you are to be alive. I didn’t come from much, so this has given me everything.

Hanging with my friends that are doctors and dentists. Love to hear how much they work. If you wanna succeed…expect to put in the time! Golf is an amazing career but if you expect to be included in big time jobs, expect to work. #itsnotthathard

First ABW damage I’ve seen on fairways since arriving at Shoreacres. Lots of rain and these little pricks = lots of problems. @TurfEnto

Last Sunday Shoreacres lost a once in a lifetime employee with the sudden passing of Andres Torres. We have started a Gofundme for his family that depended on him greatly. He was simply the best and we miss him so much.

@Jim38039860 Do it every time we use triplexes. Silly is having an old classic property striped like a clown show taking away from the architectural aesthetic that was created so long ago.

@jminceyturf @GCIMagazineGuy Listen, I worked at all levels, public muni, private with zero money, and at the finest in the world. There is a difference on demands and expectations. I knew very early on that if I wanted to be considered I needed to be at the top. That’s why I went to Merion.

@MattSha20619144 Wouldn’t change for anything! I, much like you, didn’t make the right choices immediately but corrected the path of the ship with coming to Merion. Been through a lot in life so I find diverse high schools are great place to tell my story and find some great kids.

@POGOTurfPro @Golfdom Matt Shaffer did a lot for me and many more! I was in attendance and it was a joke as Matt loves to laugh and have fun. Maybe y’all might try it! If you chose the wrong path, that’s on you. I know my golf course is better than yours everyday because that what I love to do!!!

@LinksGems Walking stones across Creeks and “dog pecker” fence along golf house are some of my favorite details. Was fun removing all the bridges and installing those walkways through the creeks.

@JeremyHreben @jminceyturf @GCIMagazineGuy Thanks Jeremy. It’s a choice that’s all. I knew when I was at those lesser Clubs that I wasn’t going to get a look. Fair or not, the people that do put their time at a top 100 earn those privileges. It’s a grind! But I love it!!!!

If you are that good, I recommend befriending someone connected as we get requests all the time for great supers.

#catchingkillers watching this and remember working in DC during this. Took some time from school to make money and worked in Lanham. Guy shot across street at grocery store and young boy shot less than a mile away at his school. Was crazy working outside everyday!!!

@POGOTurfPro I think it a realistic and valid point. It’s rough getting there and exhausting during. Clubs shouldn’t be responsible as they sacrifice enough leading up to and after. Years of inconvenience and hard work.

@rymo4949 @GCIMagazineGuy Flat out, they want someone that’s been through the gauntlet. It’s not easy working at these places and it creates a different mindset that the Clubs are looking for. Everyone has a choice on how to pursue a career in golf. Spending money is a big part as well. Progression!

@JeremyHreben @HarryLigule Giving the membership what they want and fulfilling my end of the bargain. Members at the places I’ve been pay big bucks to belong. I run extremely dry because they want championship conditions daily. To me that means putting in the hours when it is needed.

@MedinahTurf We’ll said but yet the students that are in school, continually are sent to those places that can ruin you. I love the profession and spending a year away made me appreciate it even more. I’ve changed my mentality but the product is still the same. I was extremely guilty!

@CourseCares @USGAMike I don’t mind it at all. Old school way of teeing it up and less work than picking up their tees in the morning. They do this in other countries quite frequently and step it down after the shot.
