Dear Club Members:
Maintaining a living plant at fractions of an inch and pushing it to the extreme is a science, an art, & a difficult task. Give your super what they need & pay them like you would expect to be paid as an expert in your field. Take it from an armchair super.

Remember that time when Dabo said the Buckeyes were the number 11 team in the country, then the 11th best team came out and steamrolled Clemson? That was awesome.

Words can’t begin to express how proud I am of these two. Cameron has been a champ, but the woman behind him is just as tough. Since August 8th, she hasn’t left his side and has cared for him in a way only a mother can. So proud to call her my wife. 4th surgery done. 💪

Made it back and got the gang together for a few hours. Cameron is TOUGH AS NAILS and took a few steps today after having his lower body stitched back together less than 24 hours ago. Still a long road ahead. Again, can’t thank you all enough for the support. ❤️🙏

A lot of conversation about whether or not golf should be an approved activity right now. I’m happy Ohio courses have the option if they can follow the guidelines. My personal opinion, I like my chances of social distancing in the bottom picture better than the top one.

He’ll probably change his mind next week, but for now, he says he wants to explore becoming a superintendent. Going through the application process to enroll in our local career center’s landscape program. Proud dad!

Two weeks in Cali. Was fortunate to see Bel-Air CC, LACC, Riviera, Cypress, Pac Grove, Orinda, and Cal Club. Sprinkled in the

Have had many people ask how Cameron is doing…well, today he took a big step! His doctor gave the all clear to “be a kid again,” so he suited up for team Phoenix today. Didn’t think we’d see this for quite a while. Can’t thank you all enough for the support.

Update: I took the day to get the house ready for Cameron’s hopeful return tomorrow. Since he won’t be able to climb stairs for a while, we’re setting him up on the main level. Painted the wall orange and added some of his

Saucon Valley is where I learned the game of golf and where I watched my father give so much time and energy to this profession. It’s where I learned about the importance of relationships in this business. Special week for me to be back as a fringe member of the turf community.

Finally hit a wall after roughly 20 out of the last 27 days on the road for Tour events (I know, cry me a river). A few more shifts with my friends at MVGC, a few days to play catch up, and then off to the US Open. Even after several years behind the scenes, it never gets old.

I typically send a portion of all store proceeds to the Wee One, but as a father, this really pulls on my heart strings. While it may not be much, and he may have attended the wrong OSU 😉, I am going to send 10% of all store orders to help this family.
Grady broke out of ICU and is on the floor again, not too mention he turns 5 months old today...

Tough day today. Cameron was extremely sore and couldn’t stand up to walk. 2nd surgery went well and 3rd surgery will likely be mid-next week. PT starts tomorrow and so does the prep to get him home. Thx for the support and GoFundMe donations. Words can’t express our gratitude.
