During the summer, a golf course superintendent's job doesn't end everyday until the head hits the pillow. Evening runs out to the golf course to check soil moisture levels and do a final setup of the irrigation system, especially on the weekends, have become a staple of mine here at GFCC. While any modern irrigation system now allows the user to check online soil moisture meters and weather stations, and make irrigation adjustments from a laptop at home, our system hasn't quite met the 21st century yet, meaning I still have to go out to the course and do it the old fashioned way.
And what a perfect place to take the kids out to play. Might as well make the most of a beautiful summer evening back out at "work"....

Apparently filling divots is child's play, its a wonder why so many get left unfixed though.... |

Claire decided the bentgrass felt too good on her little toes, and took her shoes off. |
