Thanks to the Maine Golf Course Superintendents Association for inviting me to speak last week at the Maine Turf Conference. It was a pleasure to speak to a great group of hardworking golf professionals as well as catch up with numerous old friends from the business.

Had a great couple days of education and fun in Minnesota. Thanks to The TORO Company for showing us around the headquarters and a few days of golf.

Got to celebrate opening day of Darmor Club last weekend. Extremely proud of what I have created with Hal Sutton. It’s completely unique to Texas and a refreshing adventure with loads of character. This place will only get better as it matures.

I stopped by Darmor Club on my way back from San Antonio to check in on the course as the staff prepares the finishing touches before the official opening. Superintendent Junior Schuette and staff have it looking fantastic.

Today was my first time around Champions without our fearless leader, Jackie Burke Jr. He will be dearly missed. I could always count on Mr. B to provide me with a free swing tip, mental tip, or a famous Burke-ism. “You can’t get lost on a straight road” was my favorite…
