They Play, too

Pictured above is the foursome of Alex Hultz, Scott Crowell, Jay Ballard, and Kevin Crowell taken Wednesday while playing in a tournament at Bear Creek Valley.  The event was at an annual fundraiser for the University of Missouri Turf Research department, and the guys finished in third place at fifteen under par (-15).

So, you're asking yourself, why do I care?  This group is our Golf Course Superintendent, mechanic, landscaper, and Assistant Superintendant.  They not only take care of our golf course but they also enjoy golf, and who better to take care of something than someone who has a deep passion for it?  I've heard negative comments from members complaining when they see our grounds guys playing.  I think it's wonderful that they enjoy playing because it allows them to see the course as a player sees it and not just what it looks like on the seat of a mower.  They enjoy the game and take pride in maintaining our course in a way that THEY would like to play it.
