One of my favorite days of the year, hosting a @TheFirstGreen field trip!
Had the pleasure of hosting our 3rd @TheFirstGreen field trip yesterday with 170, 5th-graders from Danville. Thx @PoconoTurfgrass for volunteering time & $ support, our amazing grounds crew for supporting logistics, local businesses for donations and @gcsaa for an amazing program

Still too wet for carts today (our superintendent allegedly got a cart stuck), but hopefully you can get out to walk on this beautiful ☀️ day. Bunkers have been raked and greens ironed out this morning for the first time this year!

A memorable week uncovering @FrostyGolfPA first days of existence going from a farm to a golf course! Incredible being able to learn about your clubs beginning in real time viewing these long forgotten projector slides!
Frosty Valley history revealed! Thanks to the family of former superintendent Carl Swartzlander, we were given some original pictures of Frosty Valley CC being constructed by architects William and David Gordon. We look forward to sharing more with our members soon! #1961

Finally made it to my first @GCSAA Chapter Delegates meeting representing @PoconoTurfgrass Mechanical issues on the way out led to unfortunately missing day 1, so of course held our own meeting w/ Kevin (Ontario) and Greg (Maine) at the nearest rest area! Learned a lot on Day 2

How in the world do I have a teenager already?! This week through all my disbelief, JP has turned into a young man. 🥹 Proud of him in so many ways. Hard to believe. #teenager

Thanks to the team of @Dan51926654 Jon, Charlie and Carson 20 greens aerified, shoveled, blowed, 65 tons of topdressing sand, and rolled Monday-Wed. Turned around and cleaned up 19 acres of fairways Thur & Fri. And fit in a sand pro demo on all bunkers Unbelievable effort!!

Few things more visually satisfying than dragging in dry topdressing sand on aerified greens!

The best-known way a superintendent can cause it to rain at their course is to start a project they don’t want rain while completing. Therefore, I have started to install our shock pad for artificial turf matting at our driving range. Your move Mother Nature…. #dry #firmandfast

Tried something new/fun this morning with @Dan51926654 in preparation for the @FoldsofHonor tournament. Not bad for our first run at a big one! #spraygunrookies #logo #HonorTheirSacrifice #EducateTheirLegacy

Just a month and a half ago I was rooting hard for @McIlroyRory at Augusta, now I’m showing my kids his interview, him smashing a tee & what @Wyndham_Clark did to Oakmont’s locker room & showing them how not to act. I understand the pressures of sport but be better. #disappointed
Rory McIlroy just have an emotive press conference explaining why he has been skipping media; “It's more a frustration with you guys.” This is worth a watch.

We pushed through the rain and had a great @TheFirstGreen event today. 176 5th-graders visited @FrostyGolfPA & enjoyed learning from some amazing industry professionals and volunteers. Thanks to @PoconoTurfgrass and their many sponsors for the support!

Everyone always talks about the cheap concessions or the limited commercials, but Augusta's no-phone policy is by far the best rule in sports. No phones, just living in the moment.

After studying, testing & becoming certified over the winter, yesterday I finally got to (assistant) referee my first couple games. If there is one guy that prepared me well for this, it’s my dad! Fun and challenging times ahead. Here’s to another chapter! 👊🏻
