One of the great things about having projects in the Adirondacks is I get a chance to do this when I can. I wonder if Seymour Dunn ever made this hike to Indian Head. He very well might have.
Great week to be working on a Donald Ross restoration w the open at Pinehurst! Rochester, NY at Brook-Lea Country Club. The transformation continues with phase two underway. Photos from work yesterday on hole 18. W @masgolfconst#DonaldRossRestoraton
Help is still needed to locate RIT student Matthew Grant, who has been missing since Monday, Nov. 20. He was last seen wearing a green jacket (seen in the picture in this post) and blue jeans & driving a 2014 charcoal gray Jeep Cherokee w/ Michigan license plate ESR8141. /1
Caught the legendary Bruce Cockburn in Ithaca Saturday night at the hanger theater. A needed voice in these times. … Great set list and performance, especially for a 78 year old! 🇨🇦🍺🙏

Happy 150 Birthday to Donald Ross! Pretty sure I wouldn't be restoring his courses if I hadn't learned the game & worked on the crew at Shennecosset as a young lad. Looking forward to breaking ground on the Brook-Lea CC restoration next season -
