My first big project as a Parks Manager is underway. Cambridge Park revitalization. New drainage system, irrigation system, tree lined commuter pathway, and re-grassing. Leaving a planned space for a future playground or community garden.

Pretty cool feeling: 3 of my former Assistants have landed their 1st Superintendent jobs in the last month.

Officially my last day at Kamloops Golf and Country Club. I started 21 years ago as a back shop kid and spent the last 11 as Superintendent. It has truly been a 2nd home for me. I grew up here, met my wife here, brought my kids to play here. I will miss it. Tough to say goodbye.

1/2 - I'm not usually one to make announcements, but since people are asking... I have accepted a position as Parks Manager for the City of Campbell River. It was a difficult decision to leave KGCC, but we felt it was such a great opportunity for our family and myself as a human.

2/2 - I will miss the staff and ppl at KGCC and am sad to have to say goodbye. After 21 years here (11 as Superintendent) it has truly been a 2nd home to me. I am excited to learn new things and grow as both a manager and as person in my new position. I start at CCR in December!

We had a great experience hosting the Canadian All Abilities Championship. There were many incredible players who have overcome so many challenges, it was amazing to see. @GolfCanada @KamloopsGCC

Bunker renovations that reduce the frequency and severity of washouts will extend the life of bunker sand, save countless hours of repair, and minimize disruption to play after a storm.

Driving range tee extension project. It was a challenge to complete while trying to manage the regular course maintenance this spring. Definitely learned a few things along the way, but proud of how it turned out.

Bunker sand will never be totally consistent throughout a golf course, there are simply too many variables involved 👇

Maybe I'm just old school, but when did we decide to start calling golf course maintenance "agronomy"? We certainly use science in our jobs, but we are not scientists. I understand promoting ourselves as professionals, but why pretend to be something we're not?

Tough to say because I can't look away from his horrible divot pattern.
