To get the most from each putting green aeration event, consider making multiple passes in different directions. The recovery time may be similar to a single pass and you can get more sand into the profile 👇

No golfer likes seeing aerated greens, but the short-term disruption means healthier greens that play better in the long run. Check out this video for a closer look at the reasons behind aeration 👇

@AMAZlNGNATURE In 1995, 14 wolves were released in Yellowstone National Park. No one expected the miracle that the wolves would bring

Thoughts on this Golf Twitter?

@USGAGrnSection Great explanation, this should be sent to every golfer.

The course conditions seen during televised golf can leave golfers with some pretty grand ideas for their home courses. It's important to remember that the conditions we see on TV require more than meets the eye, and more than most budgets have to give 👇

@EdEdrobertson Great pic Ed 👍

Throwback to 1997. The OTEC Sales team. Len Huras, Steve Mayne, Gary “Bam” Morris, Ed “Knuckles” VanDyk, myself and Thom McLean. A great group of guys and special mention to Len whom everyone loved, it’s been 10 years since his passing. Miss you Len……

@bcgolfsuper 3 for sure

Without considering cost, which type of golf hole cutter would you prefer to use on a daily basis?

Most golf course superintendents are accustomed to doing their work without much fanfare, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to show our appreciation for all they do. Here's 3 ways to #ThankASuper #ThankAGreenkeeper

Collar dams are an unfortunate byproduct of beneficial aeration and topdressing. Eliminating them will improve surface drainage, putting green health, and playability.

Heat and lack of rain has returned to may parts of the country. For cool season #turf managers we are heading into an important time of year. Ensure you are providing plant available water without sacrificing play. #golf #sportsturf

@GPIDrainage @turfnet Congratulations 👍 So difficult to make folks realize the importance of what happens below the turf.

This videos pretty much sums up our summer at Hampton Hall golf and country club in Bluffton SC. This is the largest fairway drainage project we have done at once. 173,500’ of slit drainage and over 17,000’ feet of 4” mainlines. Tee to green it will be firm
