    No matter what you call yours, everyone on planet Earth has one. Nearly half of men become one. Dad, daddy, old man, pa, papa, pops, sir. Father. This Sunday marks the day Americans officially honor the patriarch of the family.  June 16 also plays host to the final round of our country’s great golf championship—the US Open.

    Spring has (finally) sprung and with it so has preparation for outdoor seating areas at country clubs across the northern two-thirds of the United States. Pulling patio seating from storage and wiping down outdoor tables are a common occurrence right now. It’s a time-honored tradition and a rite of passage of sorts especially for new staff members. ”But how do I start this power washer?” asks Tim the new kid. That might be Timmy’s question, but as a manager you may be
