Yep. On this blessed day 50 years ago, my dear brother was born BUTT FIRST. If you know him at all, you’ll realize that it is completely appropriate that his derriere was the first to make an appearance. My brother is amazing. He’s extremely funny and a very selfless human being. You may not see […]

Ok. I just looked at the calendar and realized that summer passed me by. What? Here’s my excuse for not keeping up with the golf course shenanigans. Then, I’ll get on with the show. First up, at the end of April, my dear, sweet, grandma passed away. She was 99 years old and lived […]
I don’t know about you, but my favorite part of playing golf is the people who make up my foursome. I have been playing golf on Thursdays with my mom, sister, and aunt Nancy for about 20 years. In fact, about fifteen years ago, I played golf (best round of my life), then proceeded to […]
Having grown up on the golf course, I have many stories to tell about all of the many jobs that I have performed over the years. When I was two years old, my dad would take me with him and I would help him change the cups on the course. My job was to set […]
Part of the fun of living in our community is that feels like a small town. Except. It isn’t. Most small towns don’t have amusement parks and Bass Pro shops. My dad grew up in Altoona. His childhood home still stands along with the first pool in the city of Altoona which happened to be […]
On Saturdays, it isn’t uncommon for us to work more than fifteen hours. We have nicknamed these days Super Saturdays because that makes them seem more fun. (Yeah. Right.) It isn’t as bad as it sounds. I don’t sit at a desk for fifteen hours. The job is constantly changing and evolving as the day […]
It’s Father’s Day, so it only seems natural that I’d talk a little bit about my dad. Last year, I shared bits and pieces about my mom for Mother’s Day. I didn’t want to get super mushy on my golfers with two posts about my parents in one year, so I didn’t gush over my […]
Last week, I had my spring board meeting for the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA). I flew down early in the morning on Tuesday and came back on Wednesday. I’ve mentioned before in my account of previous meetings, but I must say it again. I don’t know how people travel for a living. It’s […]
Today is my Grandma’s 98th Birthday. If you like to play golf, then you need to give her a hug. We wouldn’t be here without her! She was born in Des Moines in 1915. The oldest of 8 children. Only 6 of whom lived into adulthood. She always says that all of her siblings were […]
Last week, I spent a few days in Charleston, SC for the National Golf Course Owner Association (NGCOA)’s board meeting. My first meeting was in the spring after being nominated to be on the board last February. The board is made up of golf course owners from many walks of life. There are a few […]
