If your course has renovations coming up this fall, expect some disruption during the work and try to be patient as new features get established. It takes time to do things right 👇

Golfers are ready to play when they arrive at a course, but the course wouldn’t be ready for them without a lot of hard work that starts long before the first tee time 👇

Anyone have a Pythium blight grass sample they can send me? Not looking for dead greens but maybe some active Pythium blight from the rough or small area. Let me know and I can provide shipping instructions. Looking to get a couple of isolates of the pathogen for a project! #research

Extreme heat and humidity will be affecting a big part of the U.S. this week and golf course superintendents will be playing defense. If you notice some temporary changes in playing conditions, remember that slow grass is better than no grass!

Check it out! Always a good read (and probably something that can help you out!) in the Green Section Record! Of course I'm a little biased 😊
In today’s Record, we have a new podcast with superintendent Chris Tritabaugh on using “Turf GvX” to improve putting green management. We also look at site-specific irrigation, the enduring championship relevance of Donald Ross designs, and much more! Click to subscribe 👇
