About Me:

I've been a Golf Course Superintendent for little over 8 years and working at PCC for the last 4 years and loving every minute of it...

This blog only serves as an inside view of the tasks, activities, projects and maintenance challenges we go through on a day-to-day basis and to inform anyone interested on the things we do to have as little impact on the surrounding environment as possible.

A golf course is a living environment with insects, weather, grasses and trees all affecting how it plays on any given day. All of these things and a host of others, must be managed daily by a course's superintendent to make it playable – and ensure its aesthetically pleasing all year round – for the golfer.

I love nature and consider myself lucky and blessed to be working outdoors and not in a cubicle!!
