Around the Green Continued from page 6 When I’m not at work I love to read. I have a Kindle and I must have 50 books on it. Sure is easy, just order up a book and give them your credit card and away you go.
Who is your favorite sports team and why? My favorite sports team is the Giants. I can’t say the San Francisco Giants because I fell in love with them when they where the New York Giants and they had Willie Mays playing for them. They won the World Series then they moved to San Francisco, how perfect was that.
If you could pick one meal, what would it be?
What’s your favorite part of being a golf course superintendent? My favorite part of the job is being outside, but even more, being at Madera Country Club and watching the back side greens that were built by my dad in 1962. I got to help with the construction, but seeing them brings back great memories.
What’s your least favorite part of being a golf course superintendent? My least favorite part of the job is members. Not all, some are wonderful, but you always have a bunch of them who are ruthless.
What’s your favorite band?
My favorite meal is Carne Asada Taco’s made by my crew at Madera CC. Don’t know how they do it but I just love those things.
My favorite band is Bob Wills; do you know who that is? How about Merle Haggard and the Strangers?
On a personal note, I know that Lowell should have named his favorite band as the one he played with Buck Owens in the days of the Cousin Herb Show in Bakersfield on channel 10. Now that was some history. What’s your favorite song? My favorite song is “Welcome to My World” by Jim Reeves.
What’s your favorite movie? My favorite movie is Shawshank Redemption. Not a really warm and fuzzy film but I just love to watch it.
Well that’s all for this issue but if you know of anything that you think members might like to hear about, let me know, and we’ll see you “Around the Green”.
