I would like to thank everyone who has asked how my Ireland trip went.
The truth is, it was amazing!
The golf courses were outstanding and the
weather was uncharacteristically sunny.
During the whole week, we had not one single day of rain which I learned
was not the norm.

On top of playing great golf, I was very fortunate to meet about 20 fellow
golf course superintendents and industry representatives from throughout the
country.
The opportunity to network and
create lasting friendships will forever make me a better superintendent and a
better person.
Lynn and I are forever
grateful to TurfNet, Syngenta, and the members of HFCC for giving us this great opportunity.

As I stated in last month’s newsletter, we have a lot of other projects
other than #12 that we will be doing in the off-season.
In an effort to keep everyone up to date with
what is going on while you are away, you can go to my golf course maintenance
blog at
www.highlandsfalls.blogspot.com
.
I always include a lot of pictures and
a short description as to what we are doing.
In addition to my updates, the blog has links to the G&G chairman
and my email, our course weather station so that you can see what the weather
is doing at the club, and the webcam for the croquet courts.

In an effort to make information on the golf course easier for you to
receive, I have added a feature to the blog that will automatically send you an
email when I write an update. On the right side of the blog add your
email to the box and every update of the blog will be emailed to you. You
won't have to remember the website anymore.
