When tough summer weather hits, golf course superintendents may have to play defense and prioritize healthy grass over optimal playability until the weather improves πŸ‘‡

Members, meet your new driving range mower, Mowbot1919. It's a big job, hopefully he's up to the task.

Brushes on the fairway mowers, a good fertilizer cocktail and perfect weather can make it pop.

Spring is an ideal time to inspect how each sprinkler is operating to catch issues that you might otherwise miss when the irrigation season really gets going πŸ‘‡

Timely article as for we are seeing an uptick of creeping bentgrass samples in the lab perceived to be a disease, when it’s nothing more than this.

It's natural for cool-season greens to look a little strange early in the springπŸ‘‰bit.ly/4sIrcEl

Heavier than normal topdressing on approaches with a decent shot of rain expected tomorrow. We'll drag in today and let the rain do its thing tomorrow. Course opens at noon.

As we finish vertidraining the last fairway today, we are now beginning to slice all rough. Relieving compaction and allowing for better surface drainage. Members, this process will move faster than fairway vertidraining.

Starting in the dark. The long process of vertidraining all fairways. Complicated by lots of storm cleanup from the weekend. I'm lucky to have team members willing to put in the time and effort. Vertidraining continues for the next few weeks. Will help with surface drainage

Final fairway topdressing of the season. Feels great to get this one done during some sunny October weather. Vertidraining all fairways is up next starting in a coupleweeks.

A new maintenance facility led to improved organization in the shop, but @PCuffare didn't expect how it impacted performance on the course. Latest video presented by @BASFTurf_us.

It was time. Solid tining has helped get sand into the profile, but this season called for some decompaction on fairways.

I'm not sure what to think of this. Grass practice tee is closed Monday and Tuesday for maintenance, but a couple Members think this doesn't apply to them apparently. Disappointing. These areas won't be recovered by the time the hitting locations rotate back to here.🀷

Hot summer weather will show the value of a well-functioning irrigation system, or the need for overdue upgrades πŸ‘‡

The most important thing to know about green speed is that faster does not necessarily mean better πŸ‘‡

Selective tree removal at the back of the driving range. These removals will soon be replaced by varieties more native to the area.
