Y’all think you can keep up with an Assistant #Superintendent? 👀 Join me from 6–8 AM as I manage a handful of holes and help get the #golfcourse ready for golfers. So… what is an Assistant Superintendent? 🤔 I always go back to one of my favorite (and underrated) movies, Robots, where the main character’s motto is: “See a need, fill a need.” That’s exactly how I see my role. If mowers are running behind, you’ll find me blowing behind them to help keep things moving. Only one person available to rake bunkers? No problem — I’ll hand rake between checking moisture on greens. Whatever it takes to make the course play its best, I’m there to serve. 💪⛳ Because at the end of the day, my job isn’t just about grass — it’s about giving every golfer the best experience possible. #womeninturf #turfgrass #greenkeeper #northcarolina #johndeere #golf
"Only on Melbourne’s famed sandbelt courses is it possible to build bunkers that cut right into the putting surface” said many a well-known architect & superintendent. Well, we’re not sure that’s entirely true. Introducing the West course at The Fall Line. Images: @linkslandphoto
65 million years ago, an ancient shoreline stretched from Columbus to Augusta, leaving 200 miles of sand dunes, lakes, pines & low growing natives & grasses. Land which is perfect for golf... Introducing The Fall Line. East, West and Short Course. Our first new build in the USA.
At long last, I can share with you guys the I incredible Fall Line Club and its dazzling 48 holes of golf.
I’ve been waiting to share these photos with you guys for almost 9 months, and it’s been tough, because the place is simply amazing.
Fall Line is a huge 1,500 acre parcel secreted away in the Georgia sandhills, 2 hours south of Atlanta and an hour east of Columbus.
Working on their first new course project in the U.S., Geoff Ogilvy, Mike Cocking and Ashley Mead of OCM Golf wanted to put those acres to good use - they hit a home run.
The East Course (upper right)was designed as an homage to the heathland classics around England, and the absolutely nailed the look, the feel and the fun that make those courses so beloved.
The West Course (lower left) was modeled on the Aussie sandbelt like Royal Melbourne. Perhaps it’s no surprise, since OCM was founded in Melbs, but I was absolutely shocked at how good this course was, and how much it reminded me of RMBC. It was absolutely uncanny.
Just in case these two, which you will certainly see popping up on every top 100 list out there in the near future, weren’t enough, Fall Line also throws in a wild and stupendously fun 12 hole short course (bottom right).
If you haven’t gotten the gist yet, I was truly blown away by this place. Even in this era, when it seems like a terrific new golf course opens every other week, Fall Line is a notable standout.
When the talent of the architects is unlimited, the commitment of the developer is unbridled, the imagination of the creators is unhindered, and the passion of all involved is unbounded, and cost is apparently unimportant, a place like Fall Line is can be the result.
More to come.

My joy will come from that service.” @AsanteAssassin
Damn. Takes a special person.
