Mother Nature wasn't always cooperative but Jason Riley and his staff at Willoughby Golf Club have worked their magic following the renovation last summer. #GolfRenovation #FloridaGolf

Having a great team is a vital part of any successful project and few team members are as important as the golf course superintendent and their crew. Many thanks to Richard Garcia and his staff for all their hard work.
Despite last summer's weather challenges, superintendent Rich Garcia and the Troon management team have the Club at Fiddler’s Creek in excellent condition following an extensive Hills • Forrest • Smith renovation. #FiddlersCreek #GolfCourseRenovation #troongolf

Not often I get to take the kids to work with me but when you have a project in New England and your son is a huge Red Sox fan, you make it happen. Thanks to @vmgolfservices for having us out.

As a kid, I’d spend hours playing in the dirt creating forts for my GI Joe guys. Guess we don’t all grow up! #dirtnugget

The historic stone walls and specimen oak trees are going to give this place a charming old school New England vibe. Really excited to see how it takes shape over the summer.
The West 9 @NewportNational is starting to take shape with @vmgolfservices making great progress. Thrilled to see how the historic stone walls and specimen oak trees are being folded into the design. #vernacular #NewEnglandGolf

Great visit to Fiddlers Creek yesterday. It served as my yearly reminder to wear sunscreen. #redlobsterposterboy
Exciting times for @fiddlerscreek with the construction of a new clubhouse and practice facility in advance of next years course renovation. A 25,000sf putting course and 19th hole will provide hours of entertainment for the membership.

Consistently ranked the #1 public course in New England, @NewportNational continues to receive high praise. https://t.co/GnBrQBfyxG ...and it's getting better. The third (West) nine and practice facilities are under construction. @vmgolfservices

Excited for the opportunity to capture a little New England charm on this project. Centuries old stone walls and sentinel oak trees abound. #vernacular
Despite Mother Nature’s best efforts, the new West 9 @NewportNational is finally underway. We’re thrilled to be working with a talented team to add more golf to one of New England’s best public courses. @vmgolfservices #NewEnglandGolf

Always fun to have a project in your back yard, especially one with the potential of Foster Park.
We’re honored to be a part of a great team and establishing the vision for the next 100 years at Foster Park. @FortWayneParks

Quick visit to @hyattlostpines last week to paint fairway lines for the new holes. Superintendent Peter Clark and his staff continue to dial it in. Looking forward to seeing resort guests get a chance to play them.
