Season close

Well, another golf season is ended, and the course has been put to bed.  I want to take a moment to thank all of those members and guests who played the course this year, and the many positive reviews we received from players.  I only hope that our crew of very dedicated staff met or exceeded all of your expectations, and gave you an exceptional course to play on.  

As the Golf Course Superintendent I only hope that next year will be better in condition, (and weather) for all of you, and new golfers to enjoy the "Links" experience we have tried very hard to embody at Piper's Glen.   

Thanks to my staff.  You have all made it very easy, by being dedicated to the jobs and tasks given to you, and worked with the greatest of detail in mind.  Thanks Darren, John, Klaus, Joe, Ben, Tanner, and Blake.  It is easy with a great bunch of workers such as yourselves.

I must also take a moment to thank the inside operations staff for their continued support.  Without them tirelessly informing you, the golfer, about where my work is being done, I couldn't possibly get everything in the condition it was in.  Thanks Glen, Wendy, Brad, Richard, Daryl, and Jim.

Finally, I would like to thank our ownership.  They support every aspect of what I do out there, and give me everything I need to produce the conditions that golfers appreciate everyday that they play.  Without this support, my job would be increasingly difficult to perform from a maintenance stand point as well as at the administration level.  Thank you Rod, and the support staff at Rice Development.

Have a great off season and we hope to see all of you in the spring when we kick off another great season at the Links at Piper's Glen.
