The summer solstice occurs at 1:16 pm today! and is the day of the year in the northern hemisphere with the most time of daylight! Sunrise today occurs at 5:32am and sunset at 8:28pm – 14 hours and 56 minutes of daylight today! From this day on til the winter solstice in December, the days will become shorter...
The summer solstice is considered to be the first day of summer, although there is no official decree or law to make it so. It’s just an “easy out” on the calendar! Throughout the world, people celebrate the solstice with parties, pagan ceremonies, prayer, music, etc, and of course, somewhere, probably at a Wal Mart, there is a solstice day sale.
No matter how, or even if, you celebrate the solstice, have a great day and a great summer!

About Me
- Ken Thompson, Golf Course Superintendent
- I came to work at Greate Bay in 1983 as the assistant superintendent after interning three years at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore PA, where I took part in preparing it for the 1981 USGA US Open Championship. In 1985 I was promoted to be Greate Bay's Superintendent. In 1987 I left Greate Bay to oversee the grow in of Stone Harbor Golf Club, and continued on there as the superintendent until 2002. At that time, I returned here to Greate Bay, with the goal to continually improve it's condition, and it is proving to be the most rewarding time of my career!
