Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who has contacted and congratulated me on my TurfNet Superintendent of the Year award. Its really an honor and I am humbled by it all. After coming back to work from the Golf Industry Show, my staff surprised me with a little appreciation of their own. I am every bit honored by their support as I am by my SOTY award as I could not have done it without them. Thanks guys!

Joe Lee was an amazing and modest man who showed little interest in promoting himself in his work. Instead, he built his career in golf architecture through word of mouth with hard work and dedication. Lee’s clients, his timeless designs, and the endless stream of satisfied golfers that play his courses each year are what brought fame and recognition to his craft. His courses are as much a work of art as architecture, featuring graceful landscapes and challenging holes while highlighting the natural beauty of the surrounding area. Over the course of a career spanning more than 50 years, Joe Lee designed and renovated over 200 golf courses. To this day Highlands Falls remains one of the most well preserved examples of his work.
