Senioritis

In anticipation of you becoming a “senior,” welcome to my world. I used to think turning 50 would be the end of the world... but the sun comes up in the morning and sets in the evening. After 35 years as a superintendent “I” get to play in the Super Senior flight. How does that grab you? And if you look at some of the handicaps, these guys are good. A lot of single-digit handicaps. Not mine mind you, but it is better than 20.

Honest assessment

Thanks, Nate, for that honest article (“Stopped In My Tracks,” January 2012) that many people would not open up about, such as Pat Jones did about drinking (Catharsis, August 2010) I hope a lot of young superintendents take note of your article and you will then have made a life difference for them. Thanks again.

Profane, funny and entertaining

I enjoyed reading the November Whiteboard item “Ammo Attitude/Super With Attitude.” Maybe it would be of interest to know that the ground on which the Wawashkamo Golf Club (Mackinac Island, Mich.) stands was a battlefield during the War of 1812…

Your editorials, while somewhat profane, are always funny and entertaining. Keep up your good almost work.
