Excited to share that after graduation, I’ll be returning to Sleepy Hollow Country Club as an Assistant Superintendent! Can’t wait to get back to work with @JonathanTurf and the team!

Yesterday was my first visit to Sleepy Hollow this season. Happy to report that it’s exactly as I left it last fall: awesome.

Course conditions were particularly terrific. Usually takes courses in Westchester until June to round into peak form, but @JonathanTurf and crew have Sleepy looking and playing like it’s mid-season.

I’ve never had a bad day at this place, and I can’t imagine I ever will.

I love weird golf course questions, and someone wrote in with a good one today:

What are some of the best golf course with two (and only two) par-5 holes?

Here’s what I came up with.

In America:

National Golf Links of America
Sleepy Hollow (I’m biased)
Merion
Pine Valley

(1 of 2…)

Today, like Sharon Stone in Total Recall, a killer was lurking underneath Sleepy Hollow’s beautiful surface.

I’ve never seen the greens play so firm and fast. @JonathanTurf has had the course dialed in all year, but he definitely took it up a notch today.

One of the best things about Sleepy (and many Macdonald/Raynor courses): even if you get humbled, you’re still going to have a lot of fun.

Best part about the Tour Championship this week for us golf architecture nerds is seeing Andrew Green getting some long deserved recognition for his work renovating East Lake.

His work at Congressional, seen here, is equally impressive. He completely transformed this historic golf course from a tired, softened, tree-choked layout to a beautiful, open, sharpened, dynamic venue capable of hosting a major or a group of 18-handicaps.

[Jonathan Heywood, CGCS @JonathanTurf]

Proud is an understatement to be a small sliver of this success. I’m excited for the future of SHCC and our team. https://t.co/cUn5TS47ND

What an amazing week at Muirfield Village for #TheMemorial. @chadmark614 and his team had this course dialed in. Thank you for letting me be apart of this experience!

Despite nearly 2" of rain overnight, it was business as usual this morning at Muirfield Village for round one of the @MemorialGolf Tournament. We decided to let the sounds of morning maintenance do the talking today. #EveryRoundStartsHere
