I don't think the water is supposed to be that color.

Los Angeles Country Club topography. Only 30 feet from high point to low point but plenty of sidehills are mixed in.

Today I learned about variable depth green construction and my mind has been blown.

Its been amazing watching this project progress from paper to dirt moving.
Another major project that has us fully focused is Northmoor CC in Chicago. In 2018, the Club hired us to rectify ongoing flooding issues and re-route the course. 125,000 cubic yards were moved over the last 7 months to raise the land/help drainage. Bold stuff! Opens Spring ‘23!

Having worked with Scott for several years, the man knows his stuff. Great position for anyone starting out and wanting to learn.
We are excited to add a new member to our team from 2022!

If it wasn’t 23 degrees out I could hang here all day. @TylerRaeDesign

Great update from @buildsmartrgolf on the work going on at Olympia Fields. These changes are much more fun to see when compared to lines on paper. youtu.be/M5ItezpOXNw

Golf course construction projects are by far my favorite ones, but you can't underestimate how sloppy they can get with a little bit of rain.

Might just be me but I feel like different camera angles are being used this year to show more of Augusta National topography. #Masters2021

Found this new wallet from @SecondStringLC made from old goalie gear. Nice to keep something with me to remind me of my youth. I’ll probably look into repurposing some of my old gear soon. Also, it doesn’t smell like used hockey gear.

cha cha cha changes!!
I forgot I put this together last year. Here are 90 years of Riviera Country Club in a quick gif.

Retweet since its been 1 year.
Another case of TV not giving the elevation change in Riviera Country Club any credit. Approximately 140 ft change in elevation from one side of the course to the other.
I've been lucky enough to work on a few golf courses and this can't be stressed enough. Unfortunately, some of those paying the bills don't like the feeling that they are wasting money on something they can't see.

Big day for me today! They let me away from my desk and so far I’ve only lost 1 boot in mud(recovered), a pair of safety glasses,both gloves are soaked through and I smell like decomposing plants!!!

A couple of things to remember when watching @BMWchamps 1 - The North Course didn't have as many trees in 1938 and 2 - @OFCCClubhouse used to have a lot more holes

I was once told that I never get out of my comfort zone. This beet from @PipeworksBrewin is one small step for me.

Awesome start for my guy! Keep it going Q!
