I’m sure that by now, many of you have heard that I will be leaving my current position at Piper Glen. I want all of the golfers and my colleagues to know that this was not an easy decision for me. My time at Piper has been very fun and rewarding, and it’s hard to imagine myself working at any other golf course. I have been blessed to work with some amazing people and I can’t thank everyone enough for all they’ve done to help the golf course be successful. I know I wasn’t always the easiest person to work with, but we always found a way to solve problems together; and I’m going to miss everyone very much.
Thank you Bruce Thomas and Rodems Golf Management for trusting me to care for this awesome property. Thank you Bryan Cox; for always putting up with me and for being such a good friend throughout our time here-I wouldn’t have made it very far without your support.
The last four and a half years have been challenging and rewarding, and I’ve had more fun than I think anyone could ever have at their job. I have no doubt that the golf course and community will continue to thrive for many years to come!
Sincerely,
Nick Mott, Golf Course Superintendent

A few small projects wrapped up this week. Dead trees removed on 7, fence around the porta potty on 6, and cleaning up underbrush on 2.

Pictures don’t do this project justice. Tree removal on 11 to open up the angle on the right side of the hole. Excuse our mess this weekend, some equipment issues halted the cleanup progress until Monday.
02/23/2021
We removed some trees and brush to open up the approach to the green on 17 today. Shots from the left side of the fairway will be a little easier now!

One question we get asked frequently, “what do you do in the winter?” The answer: A Lot!!
Aside from taking some much needed time to relax, we detail all of our equipment and make repairs as needed. We also sharpen and repair all of the cutting units for short mowed turf. We sand and repaint all of the tee markers, garbage cans, and other course accessories as well.
