    My other son;

    Some of you know I often mention my son that works with me installing wooden railings and stairs. My other older son doesn't get much ink, so I thought I would share some of today with you. My oldest son, Dan, is an Asst. Supertendent at Shinnecock Golf course in Southampton, NY. (US Open). He is another great son which I am very proud of. Enjoy some pics.

    WOW - Shinnecock. That's a top-shelf spread. Must be a good player, too.

    Nice gloat,

    As a past golfer, I appreciate what the superintentend's contribution to a golf course means. To have that job at Shinnecock is something to be proud of. Congrats. What I want to know is, how come guys built like Richard, and myself, have tall skinny sons. Both my sons are 6'1" and a whopping 160 lbs.

  6. Hey, thats up my alley. I am assistant superintendent at Ridgemoor CC here in Chicago which has no where near the cache of Shinnecock but I understand his life none the less. It is an enjoyable, frustrating, grind of a way to make a living, especially during the growing season, but it is easy to fall in love with it. I would mention that it is often a great way to get free logs too, but not at Shinnecock--they are somewhat short of trees. Best regards.

    Great gloat, Richard!!! OK, so I'm not into pasture pool myself but, I do have plenty of friends who are and, as I understand it, the game can be as addicting and rewarding as dropping into the spinny vortex!!! And, from what they tell me, management of an complex like that envelopes many talents and skills. You done good, my friend. You done good!!!
    Cheers,

    Must be a Gene Thing!

    Being a woodworker and having offspring in the golf super. business must run in th blood. My younger son is a grad of U. Mass in turf Management and a certified superintendant at a Links type coure on Cape Cod. Whoever said the job requires a wide range of talents was right. I wish I could play his course more often, but the commute is costly.
