Rudyard Kipling wrote a poem called, "The Gods of the Copybook Headings."  It's all about propaganda.  Most of what we hear about our so-called education system is exactly that.  We are all told that we have to continue to pay high property taxes to pay for "our high quality education system."  That's what Grady Hutcherson from the WEA called it.  But is it really?  Do our test scores really justify the hundreds of millions that we throw at Wyoming education? The short answer is not even close.  But you don't understand the reality of it until you look at the national NAEP scores as Superintendent of Public Instruction Megan Degenfelder told the Appropriations Committee to do. If we aren't paying to educate our students, what are we paying for exactly?  I reality of where we are at will shock you.

Summary Book a Free Talent Strategy Call In this episode of Leadership on the Links, Tyler sits down with David Hardesty of Capillary Flow to unpack two big themes shaping the turf side of the golf industry: non-traditional career paths and technology that actually makes superintendents' lives easier. David walks through his journey from turf school and construction projects with Jack Nicklaus and Big Cedar, to his current role helping clubs rethink bunkers, water management, and labor through Capillary's solutions.

What You'll Learn How David navigated a non-linear career path from superintendent to a technology- and construction-focused role with Capillary Flow. Why you shouldn't box yourself into one "traditional" turf role and what to consider when exploring alternative paths. What Capillary Flow actually does beyond bunker liners, and how hydroponic and water management solutions are changing expectations on the ground. How independent data and university research are helping validate water savings and drive smarter adoption of new technology. How Bloom Golf Partners helped Capillary design and recruit for a brand-new Field Technology & Quality Manager role from scratch.

What if the difference between surviving the principalship and loving it again came down to how you spend 90 minutes of your day? In this energizing episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with longtime collaborators Dr. Joseph Jones and Dr. T.J. Vari from The Schoolhouse 302 to explore how their new book, Time, Tools and Tactics of Instructional Leadership, A Principal's Guide to Leading Learning, helps leaders escape operational overload and step fully into the role of instructional leader.​ Joe and T.J. share the story behind their partnership, from trail runs at White Clay Creek to blogging, keynoting, and coaching leaders across the country, all centered on one belief, iron sharpens iron and leadership should never be left to chance. They unpack practical systems like asking, “Does this need to get done now, and does it need to be done by me?”, reverse time blocking, and their AFA framework, anchor, focus, align, which together help administrators reclaim their calendars and refocus on what happens in classrooms.​ Listeners will hear how nine concrete leadership systems make it realistic to visit four to six classrooms a day, deliver specific, neuroscience-informed praise, and build clarity around a small set of high-leverage “look fors” that every teacher understands and can grow toward. Whether you are an aspiring leader, a new assistant principal, or a veteran principal feeling stuck in management mode, this conversation offers a clear first step, audit your calendar, define what 50 percent instructional work could look like, and start removing the “pebbles in your shoe” that keep you from leading learning with purpose and impact.

Peter Hilts, District 49 superintendent joins Matt Dunn (in for Dan) to discuss a momentous win for girls' sports in Colorado as CHSAA will no longer allow biological males to participate in female sports.

CHSAA SETTLES ON BOYS IN GIRLS SPORTS And this is just the first round as districts like D49 in Colorado Springs refuse to allow fundamental unfairness to harm girls. According to the settlement reached and announced yesterday, D49 and its co-plaintiffs will be allowed to do the following:• Maintain separate sports teams for biological boys and girls.• Keep locker rooms and overnight travel accommodations separated by biological sex.• Avoid CHSAA-imposed penalties for upholding these policies.• Comply with Title IX and the U.S. Constitution while rejecting mandates that put student privacy at risk.All of which is perfectly NORMAL (more on that later in the blog).

Pastors, like political leaders, must present programs and budgets and convince others. Johnson discusses the right to dissent within the Church of the Nazarene and how opposition allows a pastor to test their ideas. He advises against reacting to opposition and instead suggests letting proposals be tested by time.

When Des Moines hired Ian Andre Roberts to run Iowa's largest school district, nobody told the public he was under a final order of removal and here illegally. Now Maryland records show he was also listed as a registered Democrat voter, despite non-citizens being barred from federal elections. Todd unpacks how this happened, what it reveals about motor-voter auto registration, and why the Left keeps insisting our elections are “the most secure in history” anyway. Then we pivot to shocking crime data from Sweden, Oakland, and the U.S. Sentencing Commission showing that a tiny 0.1–1% of chronic violent offenders are driving a huge share of violent crime—and why real incarceration of repeat offenders still matters.

At your club, there are two individuals who share one goal but have differing responsibilities that might seem to be cross purposes at times, the Golf Professional and the Superintendent. These individuals and their teams are responsible for delivering an exceptional golf experience. How can club management professionals support these individuals and help them meet the mission? In this episode, we're joined by Paul Levy, PGA, and Armen Suny, Search Executives with Kopplin Kuebler & Wallace, to share their insights into how all parties can grow in this existing gap.

In this fourth episode of Rolling With the Green Section, Adam and Brian bring on two USGA agronomists who are shaping the way Superintendents think about turf stress, recovery, and long-term planning. First, we sit down with Tom Gould, author of "It's Wet Wilt Season" and "Mending by Seeding", to break down moisture stress, wilt patterns, and some ways to rebuild turf during peak pressure. Then we talk with Brian Gietka, whose pieces "Hope Is Not a Plan" and "Dealing With Winter Injury" serve as essential reminders that preparation determines how well turf survives the cold season. From summer stress to winter recovery, this episode connects the dots across the calendar and gives superintendents actionable insights they can use right now. Turf Today is a proud partner of the USGA and is a part of The Superintnedent Network
