Well here we go! Growing season is here and in full swing.

It’s my hope that your properties are poised to have a great season of growth and recovery and that we all experience a summer of good weather.

“Be positive” that we all have similar struggles whether it revolves around the labor pool or our operational budgets. Each struggle can be taken in a positive way if we look at the issues as an opportunity to become better.

Many times we are faced with challenges that test us, that make us feel like it can’t be done. These challenges afford us learning moments to find a way. Throughout our work lives, we have come to understand that there is usually an acceptable compromise in managing our daily workload. These compromises could be as simple as making the decision to not rake bunkers on a daily basis or as complicated as using a post emergent herbicide instead of pre-emergent product to save money. Whatever the task that you are facing, “be positive” that there are usually options.

Take a few minutes and check with your peers for ideas when you are faced with having to formulate a compromise in your normal routine.

Most importantly “be positive” that if you put forth your best efforts and rely as needed on your peers that the final product will come together and impress your clients or owners.
