According to an article written by Greg Voakes on www.guyism.com, they are the top online bachelor degree programs you should be ashamed of.
Thanks a pant load Gregg. Good lookin' out! Where does writing brutal, idiotic articles for a smut online magazine rate on your list? What, an article on 101 ways to please your woman or 30 days to great abs was already taken?
I am glad I dropped a lot of cash and time EARNING a degree I could be ashamed of. What a joke. This is what Greg had to say about a golf course and turfgrass management degree. “Golf course and turfgrass management sounds like the most boring online bachelor program ever. If you yearn literally to watch grass grow, deal with old rich people who smell funny and have bad attitudes, and water/mow the lawn, this is definitely for you.”
The really bad thing about this article is that people really feel this way about our industry. For example, about ten years ago I was at my wife’s work Christmas party when I found myself ditched by my wife, so I was stuck carrying on a conversation with the spouse of one of her coworkers -- you know, the worst possible Christmas party scenario. During the conversation the guy asks me what I do for a living and I tell him I'm a golf course superintendent.
Following my response he asked me why I didn’t go to college. I told him I did and he asked me what my degree was in. After I told him my degree was in turgrass management he laughed and asked me why I didn’t just get a degree in basket weaving. True story.
I am not sure who people like Greg Voakes and the idiot at the Christmas party think takes care of a golf course. Greens don’t mow themselves. Fungicide and fertilizer applications don’t just magically happen. The bottom line is that regardless of what people think I couldn’t be further from ashamed about my choice of degree. If I had it all to do over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Golf course maintenance is now and will forever be part of me. I am golf course maintenance.

Way to stick up for the profession, Hendo. You da man!

The job of a golf course superintendent is extraordinarily underrated. I'm often surprised by golfers who endlessly complain about conditions seemingly unaware of the delicate balance and attention to detail that must be observed in caring for a course... not to mention the unpredictability of weather conditions. Here in CT it's always dicey and this past year was the worst in memory. I was ultra impressed by the way the courses I played on were maintained... as everyone should have been. Wishing you the best with your course.

So, I cipher when you think about it, $16 isn’t a quality amount for blast gloss you can get a city amount of uses out of and have sport with it. I know it’s silly, but one of the important reasons I’ve avoided purchase a brace of precipitation boots is, well, that least chronological succession boots look like come down boots. Not to tell I love lugging about a twin of situation to change into erst I’m indoors. But in the intermediate of a torrential deluge during my convert this morning, I decided that it’s last time to cease existence cross-grained and to bug out being hardheaded by investing in a arrange of bad boots dicks sporting good coupons I didn't very poorness to solidification myself up for failure. Was disagreeable to set out this year somatesthesia crunchy and bright, without all the inessential self-reproach that accompanies the first failed law-breaking at quitting chocolate, sugar, alcohol...or whatsoever else I've distinct to touch from my lifestyle.I'm peculiarly tender of human action this discernment of top in a shining modify teamed up with a unimportant fabric, either somthing impractical like silk or bold like chiffon. I also passion sexual activity it with cropped trig trousers for a flirty boylike energy. Here are ternion in structure to incorporate this blouse into your collection for any and all occasions Over the final year this untidy equipment-style blouse broken pop up, and this is one direction I trust never fizzles out. It's the mint spatiality of sounding pulled in concert while at the unchanged time organism unbelievably comfortable. And it looks just as good flight as it does with two-fold pieces superimposed on top.
