Darren J. Davis, CGCS

When the #pinesraw starts hitting the ground in #swfl, the busy #winter #golf season is not too far behind! @gcsaa #golfcoursemanagement

It’s an honor to serve as chair of the @gcsaa 💯 Centennial Celebration Committee! We are looking forward to celebrating the work of our founder (Colonel John Morley) other predecessors, the tremendous growth of our association (nearly 20,000 members) and the #golfcoursemanagement industry! It has been a very productive couple of days in Lawrence Kansas #GCSAA #golfcoursesuperintendent https://www.instagram.com/p/CqY0f_Vu5Rx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Sleepy” is our 4th returning #screechowl this year at #oldefloridagolfclub … but true to her name she’s obviously been sleepy No eggs in the @nativebirdboxes nest yet, but I’ll check on her in a couple of days @gcsaa #golfcoursesuperintendent @auduboninternational #thisismyoffice #swfl #golf #environment #somepeoplegettocallthiswork (at Olde Florida Golf Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRPwkvu5mj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I checked on Ginger today (hole 5) and she has three eggs of her own. Still feisty, but she allowed me a quick “family pic” #proudmomma Ginger is the longest tenured #screech owl to use our @nativebirdboxes at #oldefloridagolfclub @auduboninternational #swfl #golf @gcsaa #golfcoursesuperintendent #thisismyoffice (at Olde Florida Golf Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqHC7wdNySX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jessica (Rabbit) is back again in her nest next to the driving range Unlike feisty Ginger, the other “red” on property (hole 5), Jessica is passive. She is up from one egg (last year) to three eggs this year Four of the seven screech owl boxes are currently occupied at #oldefloridagolfclub @gcsaa @auduboninternational #swfl #golf #environment @nativebirdboxes (at Olde Florida Golf Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDbvgxuFoI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was a terrific second day at the Spring Meeting of the Inland Empire chapter of the @gcsaa at @WildhorseCasino Today I presented on “How to Set Yourself Apart in the #Golf Industry (and equally important, remain relevant!)” I enjoyed interacting w/ the very engaged group of assistants, golf course superintendents & industry partners #dowhatyoulove #blessed https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp1OegLL8PI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It was a pleasure presenting to the @inlandempiregcsa chapter of @GCSAA This was my first time giving the talk, Tips for Success from a “Tenured” #golfcoursesuperintendent My version of “things they don’t teach you in #turf school” One more to go. Thank you for having me! @turfstarwestern @thetorocompany (at Wildhorse Resort & Casino) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyBbEOv4tz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

True to form, I played to a 4 handicap on the driving range, but couldn’t beat my 19 index on the #golf course! Irregardless it was a terrific day with my good friend @gcsaa CEO Rhett Evans along with #golfcoursesuperintendent Adam Winslow and is Equipping Manager Samuel Granados @ocngolf #camaraderie #TEAM @GCSAA #gcsaaconferenceandtradeshow #sunrise #favoritetimeofday (at Orange County Natl Golf Course) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoQLVuQuP1q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I made a trip this afternoon to the place where I got my start in the game of #golf @seminolelegacygc I played my first round at the “old Seminole” and I can fondly remember paying $6.00 for a round of golf and I think that included a hotdog at the turn. The new Seminole designed by @jacknicklaus is a phenomenal track and in terrific condition. @troon @gcsaa #golfcoursesuperintendent and his TEAM should be proud (at Seminole Legacy Golf Club) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuiJCruMeY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ginger, Stink-eye and their Screech owl buddies all asked for new beds for #Christmas @nativebirdboxes came through!
