This site was set up...
 
...as an experiment and it seems to have been successful.  We have had over 12,000 page views in the first year and over 4,000 visitors, the same has held true for every year since. 
 
Still, the primary purpose of developing a web site for this aspect of a golf operation is to definitively present what impact the Green and Grounds Committee has had on the golf course.   Much of the work that happens at a golf course  happens behind the scenes with golfers only getting the occasional snapshot of the progress, I hope that this site brings more of that background to the forefront.

What's New:
 
SI Golf had it's jobs issue recently and there is a great profile on the grounds crew at Grayhawk Golf Club.  Read here.
 
Some new articles from the Wall Street Journal here and here.  The first one is about the new owner of North Shore Country Club and his search for the true architect of the course and its importance to him.  The second is about attracting more women to golf, but there are lessons there for all golfers in how we set up golf courses to retain golfers.

Golf Digest has a whole section dedicated to golf and the environment.  One section in particular where they interview superintendents from top 100 courses.  Take the time and listen to the audio that they have put with each slide.  This gives a real good pulse on the industry and what we are facing.  Click Here.  

Good article in the New York Times about water conservation and superintendents leading the movement. We implement many of the same thoughts and techniques here at Dedham.

DCPC gets a mention in Golf World.  It looks like some information posted only on this site has been used.
