Dear Franklin County Country
Club Staff and Members,
I would like
to thank the board of directors and the membership for welcoming me on that
first day and their continued loyalty as the years progressed. Your constant
dedication and love for this golf course pushed me to reach higher and tackle
each day head-on. My goal was to keep FCCC as that one course members and
guests could not wait to revisit, and none of that would have been possible if
it weren’t for the wonderful clubhouse staff and dedicated team members, I have
had the privilege of working with. This is no one-man show; it takes a team to
keep this grass green, and I have been fortunate to have worked alongside many
motivated and hardworking individuals. Moving forward, FCCC will be in great
hands under new Superintendent Dave Thoenen, where 100 more years await on the
horizon.
Looking back
on my career I realize just how quickly time can propel us forward. With the
blink of an eye I find myself in my office with boxes at my feet and pictures
off the walls. My computer sits idle on my desk, filled to the brim with photos
and documents from all the projects we have completed over these years. I have
spent half of my career among the beautiful rolling hills of FCCC, and I cannot
help but feel bittersweet as this chapter comes to a close. There is a lot I
will miss, but the sunrises were always my favorite; FCCC welcomed some amazing
ones, and as far as I’m concerned, there is no better way to start a day.
Thank you,
