April 10, Sunday
Today we are expecting a high of 87? The grass is really starting to perk up from the rain and warm temperatures.
We had some rain last night and I was able to identify where we need to begin our drainage work.

Saturday, April 9
Our first day of working on the golf course was Saturday April 9.
I spent the day working on greensmowers, evaluating equipment and organizing parts manuals in preparation for our mechanic, who starts on Monday. Yes I did some wrenching
A local superintendent stopped by and welcomed me back to the area.

This morning I received a call from John Kiriakopoulus, Head Golf Professional and General Manager at Bittersweet Golf Club asking me to begin as golf course superintendent on April 7th, 2011.
I walked several holes of the golf course at Bittersweet last week and took these pictures. I just love all the native oaks and hickories.
