Greg,
Thanks for the email earlier this week with the link to the renovation progress that you are making. Marzolf is stud and has done some really fine bunker work on some old, classic golf courses, as of late.
I just wanted to say that reading your above post was quite refreshing in the fact that you didn’t refer to everything about the golf course as “me,” “my” or “mine.” Ultimately, the golf course superintendent, (in most cases) doesn’t own the course. We are not typically the ones mowing, or rolling, or spraying, etc. We’re directing it and how we think it’s best done. In so many discussions and/or articles, I’ve never understood why it’s always, “my greens, my roots or I sprayed or I’m cutting at…” Ultimately, I think that it takes away credit from the staff and Assistants that are really doing the physical work. I would be interested if any members of this site, who are members at a course, get upset if they hear their Superintendent talk like such. (Maybe most do not even notice) It’s much more the member’s golf course that it is the Superintendents.

Good points Anthony. We agree.
