We like to lease our golf cars. They are something that we turn over frequently because, let’s face it, golfers are pretty hard on carts. I won’t go into details, but let’s just say golfers definitely don’t treat the carts like their own. Typically, we trade out our carts about every five years. A variety […]
Winter Beauty
I was looking through some pictures that I had taken earlier this spring and realized that I had never shared them with you. Since the weather is still making it seem like we’re in winter, I figured now was as good of a time as ever. My brother, Jason, came to get me one day […]
The End of Winter
There’s always one sure sign that winter has come to an end. That’s when all of our soda machines get filled up for the year. The first time loading the machines is always the worst. They are a usually pretty filled with winter debris, so we have to clean them out. Then, we make […]
Twelve Days of Christmas Giveaway
Last year, I thought it’d be fun to play with the numbers of 12/12/12, so we gave away a bunch of fun prizes. As it turns out, it was so much fun that we decided to return this year with more fun! This post will be updated for the next twelve days with each day’s […]
Winter Prep
As the temperatures drop, the level of activity increases around these parts. We’re getting prepared for Old Man Winter. We like to wait until we can see that we’re officially in the deep freeze. Then, it’s all hands on deck to knock out the projects. Most of it has to do with water. If it […]
Irrigation Equation
Ahhh. Water. It’s earth’s most abundant compound. It can be easily found naturally in all three of its states. It’s weird and defies logic. It’s the universal solvent. It expands when it freezes. When you really think about water, it’s pretty amazing. We have experienced mass amounts of water. We have experienced lack of water. […]
Enjoying Fall
It occurred to me that I’m living up to the common misconception that once the busy summer months pass us by, we sit around and eat bon bons because we don’t have anything else better to do. Theresa usually plays the role of Peggy Bundy’s personal trainer and tries to get me to exercise, while […]
Something Old. Something New. Something Borrowed. Something Orange?
One of the hardest things about running a business is trying to figure out when you’re supposed to make capital improvements, when you’re supposed to buy new/used equipment and when you’re supposed to pinch your pennies and just make do with what you have. As a general rule, we always pinch our pennies. Our family […]
Tips from the Toad: The Golf Grip
We thought it might be fun (since we’re a golf course after all) to provide some golf related tips. We’re going to start out very simply with a proper golf grip. When I starting golfing, I was about five years old. I can still remember Mike Horton to this day telling the group of junior […]
I Heart Quinceañeras
My title at the golf course is the Wizard of Fun. When you’re in a family owned business, you get to make up titles. It compensates for the long hours. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. The Wizard of Fun title best describes my job. I’m in charge of all the fun. I […]
