I hope you enjoy these thoughts, they are tempered by 45 years of planning, building, growing and operating a golf facility. \u00a0My experience started back in high school when I was actually designing a routing plan for our first golf course, well maybe not REALLY the first. \u00a0See when my brother and I were too young for dad to bring us to the golf course we decided to build a golf course in our yard. \u00a0It was a 9 hole bounce it off the house kind of thing. Well, dad made us modify it bit! \u00a0Anyway that is where the thought process started; with orange juice cans and tree branches for flag sticks\u00a0and a\u00a0push type reel mower on a 200+ yard executive course<\/em>!<\/p>\n

I was able to use my Walnut Creek routing plan with minor changes to complete the layout for the Walnut Creek Course before I was in college. \u00a0My degree is in Agronomy\/turf management. \u00a0I tried to get a second major in L.A. but this was not possible with the schedule of lab times and doing it in the mandated 4 years \u00a0that I needed to follow. \u00a0I wish I could have continued with the landscape to further my education but I had to enter the school of hard knocks after graduation back at the family course. \u00a0I don’t regret it in the slightest!<\/p>\n

Build it and they will come seemed to be the mantra of the 90’s and there were no less than 4 potential new courses to be built within our 15 mile radius so we put our name in the ring also. \u00a0We were the ones to make it happen, glad the others did not materialize. \u00a0So now we have a 36 hole complex, really more golf than this community needs with the other 3 public and 2 private courses; but we are still surviving, not necessarily thriving but still having fun doing it!<\/p>\n

I must acknowledge that without the\u00a0wonderful and dedicated wife and children that I have, there would not be a Walnut Creek much less a Club Run Course. \u00a0We could not have succeeded without all of them. \u00a0They along with grand kids are still living on premise so that is all a mother and father could ask for! \u00a0Certainly we could not have done it without a very hard working and dedicated staff, they are the ones that keep it in tip top shape ALL the time!<\/p>\n
