Posting a “greatest hit” again as a reminder of the genetic diversity and variability of color often observed on cool season turfgrasses in the spring. A nice article from the USGA Green Section on this phenomenon - usga.org/content/usga/h…

This should be required reading all aspiring turf managers. Like it or not, this is what you’re getting into.

@talia_baia Talia is not happy about this! 😂

@BrandonJacobs27 Need to get these guys to learn your TD dance.

Yes I am interested in working with the Giants in any way they need. A lot of y’all are asking but honestly not sure how this works.

Hate this time of year...hearing of great people and highly qualified supers losing their jobs around the country. To club board members and leadership teams, your super spends countless hours on the course, sacrifices time with family, and spends sleepless nights thinking about the property. Nobody cares more about the course than they do. Have a conversation. Learn why things are the way they are. Realize that not all properties are the same. Environments and resources make a difference. A course that does 35,000 rounds with heavy cart traffic isn't going to be the same as the one your buddy is a member at that plays 15,000 rounds with caddies. Supers...control the narrative. Communicate with your members. Stand on the tee or spend time in the grill room answering questions. They may be difficult conversations during the challenging times, but facing problems head on, discussing the issues and laying out the path forward goes a long way. Getting the facts from you is better than the hearsay and rumors that will circulate around the bar.

A lot of GC Supers have lost their jobs this year that didn’t deserve to. Brutal winter, weird spring and summer. You can be good at growing grass and have years you struggle due to weather. If you have a Super who has done well for 3 years, he doesn’t become bad overnight.

It’s all just so very sad. Just sad.

Before the sun rises, they’re already hard at work. Every detail matters. Every blade of grass counts. Golf thrives because of superintendents. Happy #ThankASuper Day!

@chaddwill Toughest year for grass growers in a long time. All examples spot on. Even the best, with all of the tools available, have scars. Now magnify that to the small operations with minimal inputs. They are struggling even worse. Owners, members, homeowners, all need to understand.

For me, 2025 will go down as the toughest year to grow grass in the last 20. Winter brought ice & cold temps for winter-kill. Then rain ALOT this spring. Then straight to hot. Back to rain. Back to hot. I feel for all turf managers. You’ve earned your pay and it’s not over yet!

Another hot & dry day! These 106 year old Poa greens are struggling, but overall things look good.

Latest turf news: 2025 is shaping up to be a summer to remember — or, better yet, forget: The summer of 2025 will be one to remember for many superintendents — but for some it will be for all the wrong reasons. What began as a cool, wet extension of… dlvr.it/TMVhTJ

A superintendent should never have to apologize for dialing back green speeds during wicked weather stretches. Protecting the long-term health of playing surfaces should be priorities A, B, C, D and E.
