Why? I am so sorry GPK. I know how it feels. But you know, things happen for a reason and maybe there is something better for you out there. I know I wouldnt be where I am today if I wouldnt have gotten fired from my job.

Thanks EB...33 years old and this is the first time I have ever been fired from a job. It's all good...pick up and move on. The good news is it wasn't anything that I did. It really broke my bosses heart to have to tell me this morning...but the people that are the owners now are all heirs and have ZERO clue about the golf business.

The people on the board have no clue how to run a golf course. They just see me as the highest paid employer and just decide to get rid of me...

Kev,
Saratoga is the most awesome place on the earth the next three months. And there are a lot of golf courses here who may need someone til seasons end. Track opens soon. Gander and I and Steve are here. Go for it.

Ya OK Cajun? If ya don't want to talk about it that is OK too. PM me if ya need someone to talk to. My bosses are all out of the office today. Sent mine to Stuart for a mediation. Since he lives up that way, he won't be in. FREEDOM!
