Overjoyed to see my 'babies' featured! This wild ride has been a team effort, and their sacrifices and support have kept my eyes on the prize. (They do not approve of the picture………at all.)

I have a little brother up in heaven that took his own life when he was 15. This happened 15 years ago, but it still stings.
I may have lost one little brother but have gained a whole industry of brothers thanks to the turf world❤️🩹
It’s crazy to sit back and reflect. So much has changed in these 4 years. Creating 4 year plans is something I started after getting sober and I have always exceeded my own expectations. Excited to see what the next 4 bring!
Thank you to the benefactors

Came to see the rate of spring flows with stage 4 aquifer levels. This ecosystem is home to many endangered species including Texas Wild rice as well as the blind salamander. We could see tiny spring flows between the meeting of two tectonic plates at the Balcones fault line!!
Happy International Women’s Day! By inspiring others to appreciate and recognize the importance of women's inclusion, we contribute to creating a better world. Together, let's strive to build a more inclusive world for women.

Foggy and wet conditions to start our morning preparations for the Texas Valero Open this morning. Ready to take on any weather Mother Nature may throw our way. Go Team!
This was my baby! Speith’s 9 hole par 3 course, UT Austin. A double cut, top dress, brush, and new pin placement. Had the whole place to myself most days.
Haven’t seen my best friend in 2 years!! She has arrived in SA and we will be having a weekend full of birthday celebrations. I’m so happy, I missed this chick so much.
Anyone have a woman on the crew that you would like to see get connected with friends, events, opportunities, and or mentorship? You know my twitter, hit me up.

Early irrigation systems are life! Built in 1740, the Espada Aqueduct is the oldest Spanish aqueduct in the United States and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It irrigated 3,500 acres of crops and is still brings water to the mission and to residents. (I wikied it afterwards)
Happy to have this experience documented in real time. Trying to bring awareness to needs of others by sharing this message. The crew at Kapalua could still use the help of the turf community. Go fund me link is in the comments:)

The cornbread in MS is different! First course I ever worked at had 6 chicks on the crew. They showed my prego self no mercy, so I’m last last person to listen to complaining about being in bunkers.
We were like a family & they gave me the best baby shower I have ever received.

No shame in my game for shopping at salvage groceries stores in today’s economy. I tell everyone I know about this store and I’m sure they are sick of it, so now it’s your turn to hear it.
What an accomplishment! In 2019 I started listening to this podcast. I was dying to get promoted and have interesting topics to talk about if I was blessed with a few minutes of my superintendents time. I never got promoted there, but I didn’t give up and made it on the podcast!

Appreciation post for the people who opened up their homes and couches for me and the kiddos when we arrived back to the states from Germany. They are the reason I was able to stand up and walk after my
world was flipped upside down. They are the reason I can now fly. 🦅 🦅 🦅
Time for an update on the Practice Facility Renovation Project! Exciting progress has been made this week with multiple shipments of sod arriving on property. The team has commenced laying sod around the bunkers and on the green, and the transformation is becoming more apparent.

Central hub of the Mayans, medicinal plants for every ailment, and cave system with underground waterfalls.

Was driving home this morning and saw this golf course being built 3 min from my house! Pulled into the maintenance facility and saw Fin and Paul holding shovels. We had the coolest conversation about the construction process. Happy to see Riverside coming back strong:)
UPDATE: This photo shows Riverside's par four 2nd green and bunker complex. This short par four's green will be less sloped than the previous one.

Woke em up at 3:20am for the babysitter, packing clothes the night before, toting blankets, pillows & backpacks inside a house that was not their own, to sleep on couches. Countless times they forgot shoes, backpacks or food and had to go without. 💚Their grit is my grit.💚
