St. Andrews

In 1999, I spent a year working on the Old Course as a student at Penn State.  This was probably the most "growing year" of my life for a number of reasons.  What a great experience.  I enjoy following my coworkers from those days on various social media outlets.  Seeing photos like this are a great reminder of that experience.
 
The neatest part of working there was rebuilding the road hole bunker prior to the 2000 Open Championship.  There is a lot of work that goes into maintaining and rebuilding revetted (sod wall) bunkers.
