I'm already upset when I find my ball in the bunker I'm really upset and when I find my ball in a fried egg

fried egg lie I'm about ready to run off the golf course So, Welcome back to another edition of the Friday Golf Podcast. I am your host Andy Johnson and this is another edition of our

Superintendent series. This one I think is a pretty special one. Stephen Beal,

the superintendent at Wolf River Golf Course in Northern Michigan.

It's in Bear Lake, Michigan.

This is a incredible story.

I've known Stephen for a number of years.

We actually played golf before he made the move

from Chicago up to Northern Michigan.

He's a great guy, and I think he undertook

and executed maybe the most remarkable project of the last couple of years.

He did more with less than any superintendent that I know of and this is a incredible story.

It is a superintendent that has gone above and beyond

and really transformative property

and is delivering an exceptional product at a very, you know, budget friendly and low cost. I think, you know, we give a lot of praise to the great golf courses in the world, the elite courses, the places that have millions of dollars for maintenance budgets. But to me the most remarkable, the most inspiring places are the

places that do a lot for a little bit of dollars.

And Wolf River is that.

Stephen has did an amazing renovation with a small staff and a very small budget and it is an exceptional place to play golf and it's very cheap and very very friendly to all types of golfers so he is he's doing an incredible job and

excited for everybody to hear this episode of the superintendent series. The superintendent series is brought to you by Toro,
