    I worked there in 1994. I retired from the Navy and thought i would become a golf course supt. Lucked out and got a greens keeping job there. To see if I would like it. Played both courses for free. Found out working and playing your hobby didn’t work for me. Quit after 4 months. It’s a classy course. Glad I had the opportunity, I appreciate what they do to prep the course. In 93 when Nick Price won he gave all the course greens keepers a $100 tip.

    Love it. I still trip out on golf in general. Will there be a day where a player is so great that he will just figure out all the science and speeds of every course and dominate the sport? Will hole placement eventually change to near impossible hole in ones? Maybe a hole an inch from the water? The sport has so much potential to expand that it's crazy to think what other things they can come up with.
