Today was my last day at The Fountaingrove Club. Got the chance to play 18 holes with our Controller and Head Golf Professional. GM joined us for a few holes, too! Made double on 9… Bogey on 18. Still shot 76! Wow, what an unforgettable day. 🙏🏻

Just left
@TiburonNaples
for the last time. I have learned so much about private club and daily fee operations over the last 2+ years. Can’t wait to get to Santa Rosa and begin the next chapter of our lives.

If you make fun of what’s happening in California right now, you should be ashamed of yourself. This is not a joke. This is not a laughing matter. This is literally a situation of life and death and is bigger than this state/country has ever seen. Have some respect.

A member orders a cheeseburger for lunch. Is it silly she only wants 14 fries on the side? Yes. Do I go to the kitchen and put 14 of the best looking most flavorful fries in the basket on her plate? Yes. That’s because yes is the answer. What is the question?

Played here today. Shot a million, but what a day… The day started with a delicious breakfast followed by a Q&A with some of the best club managers in
#CoachellaValley
. Then we played

! What an unforgettable experience.
#StoneEagle
Dean Snell came on my
#podcast
this week to discuss
@SnellGolf
. Today I got home an found 2 dozen golf balls waiting for me. I am SO impressed with this company and can’t thank Dean and the team at Snell Golf for the balls.

When I first started losing weight I weighed 236 pounds. Dropped to 172 and looked almost too thin. I’m 185 now, and have been feeling sluggish and out of shape since moving to CA. I am motivated for change and will focus on dropping weight going forward. Wish me luck!
4 years ago I said, “I do.” We’ve been together a lot longer than that, but after she followed me from Indiana to Arizona to Florida to California, I figured it was meant to be. Happy Anniversary,
@girlvsplanet
. I love you! 😘
I was $0.67 short on my order today at
@Safeway
. Cashier opens his wallet and pays the difference. Now THAT is good customer service. I need to repay this guy stat.

, I asked her to marry me. She said, “Yes,” we had a few beers and carried on our way. (1 of 4)
Played in the Committee Appreciation Golf Tournament yesterday. We shot -8 and WON!!! I was hitting the ball great. Lipped out for an ace on 5 and won closest to the pin on 9… Oh, and topped a 5 wood on 7, but Ron hit is pin high setting up a tap in birdie. What a FUN day!!! 😀
Enjoying a nice bottle of

! Seemed fitting to bring this bottle with us! Such an amazing beer inspired by the smoke/peat that Islay is known for. Cheers!

I’ve been with
@Troon
for 5 years now. I've worked in the corporate office, at
@TiburonNaples
and spent a summer at
@AlpineRI
. I've worked with so many great people over the years and have built many lifelong friendships. Sure am looking forward to the next 5!
#ExperienceTroon
Our starter just gave me this
#golf
ball... He worked at Congressional and when Tiger would play, he would have 4 dozen of these shipped in. SO cool to have a “game used”
@TigerWoods
golf ball in my collection.

Got the chance to play Contra Costa Country Club today. Wow. What a treat! Had SO much fun. Got a tour before we teed off, walked the course, and really enjoyed the layout. Course conditions are silly good! Can’t wait to get back here for another round!
#ExperienceTroon
Shot 78 today. Missed 5 or 6 close ones for birdie... Ball striking was dialed in. Just kept leaving them short and burning the lip. There's always tomorrow!
#golf
That’s a wrap.
#TheOven18
was a HUGE success. What a great week. Congratulations to
@pgapro1
and Kevin Meisner, your champions! -7 is a great score this week. See you again next year!
Tip of the cap to

for sending this

care package. I can’t thank you enough, sir. These items will fit nicely in my collection.

At
@Safeway
and my card won’t work. Guy behind me offered to pay so I didn’t have to wait for a manager. Shook my hand and said, “Welcome to
#California
.” I didn’t let him pay, but just had to share this story with you. The kindness of people is alive and well in Santa Rosa.
Santa Rosa smells like a campfire. Air quality is bad, too. Depending on which way the wind blows it’s either cool and refreshing or hot and disturbing. Crazy.
#GlassFire
When someone calls, I answer the phone, “The Fountaingrove Club, this is Ricky, how can I help?” Going to change that to, “Thank you for calling The Fountaingrove Club, how can I serve you today?” Thoughts?

Walking the back 9 with some potential new members. After we completed the hole she said, “That is the first hole I’ve ever played.” Wow. This is something special.
#GrowTheGame
Played
@YochaDehe
today. Wow. This course is unreal.
@Troon
really does value your time... Played in under 3 hours! What a great experience. It’s 2 hours from home, but SO worth the drive. Just a great day and loved showing Russell what the fuss is all about.

Drinking
@KetelOne
with a lemon twist sitting at Arnold’s table sitting IN Arnie’s chair. This is unreal. Tip of the cap to
@heywademan
for the photo. He’s a pro.
#PGAWeekendTOUR
We have a potential member on the golf course right now that has a hole in his glove. We noticed as he was headed to the first tee. So what are we doing? Sending him a complementary glove so he can enjoy his round. It’s the little things that matter most.
