The culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior the leader/coach is willing to tolerate.
When toxic employees/players’ negative behaviors are allowed, it can have detrimental effect on the entire culture.
Leaders/Coaches- what you fail to correct, you applaud!
Fescue starting to pop in this drought !! Knocking back native with herbicides and modifying directional heads. Keep the rain away

Who doesn’t love a short par 4. I’m not sure if Tom Fazio planned to have adjacent hole’s bunkers look stacked on top of each other but after clearing underbrush and mostly ash trees, this is the finished product… well for now 🪚

We went from a fluff on Wednesday to an Australian fan rake and accuform faces today. Better billy bunker holds the sand where you need it so all you have to do is manage firmness through raking style depending on moisture. Over 70 mm in the last 7 days @kcm_cg
Engage your staff. Buy in comes from understanding why. Take it one step at a time. If you’re frustrated tell them, if you’re happy tell them. If they respect you as a person they will do good work for you. It takes energy but it works.

Absolute truth from Mr Trevino!
It's Trevino Tuesday again. Here's one for the "grow the grass" contingent. Is the biggest improvement in modern golf the equipment? Nope. It's the mower.

I took a good winter off of Twitter but happy to be back for another growing season. My winter full of tree work can be described with one picture #useemtillyouloseem

Thought I had today in a discussion. “Built talent is often more loyal than bought talent so invest in your people.”

Good teachers know their lesson plans. Great teachers know their students.
Good coaches know X's and O's. Great coaches know their players.
Good leaders know their vision. Great leaders know their team.
Your people make the difference. They matter. Remind them that you care.
