@GriffithsJayson @Allturf_Ltd Where did you get the blankets from? I need something similar for our range tee. Thanks

Custom blankets on practice aprons…adding TarpVice clips helps for easy On/Off when mowing…we will use on course in late October to apron and fwy landing areas to prevent further injury and promote late season recovery ahead of 2026…free lift winter rules ✅ @Allturf_Ltd

@GCSAA_NE @MetGCSA @TheFirstGreen @MGA1897 Thanks to all the volunteers who made the day happen. @KnollwoodCClub

From Nov. conversation to completion….so happy for @MetGCSA member SOlson & Knollwood CC for hosting @TheFirstGreen field trip today. 80ish 4th graders “had fun & learned” on the golf course today. Thanks to @MGA1897 & the many volunteers for making today special for the kids!

Last week, crew member Tristan Taylor had a medical emergency while at work. An apparent seizure has left Tristan in critical condition. We are asking for donations to help make Tristan's family as comfortable as possible during this difficult time. gofund.me/103a99b8

@jim_pav @GPIDrainage @TurfgrassDS @DavidOatis @GCSAA @MetGCSA @CAGCS1929 @PatJonesTweets @turfnet That is amazing how fast it starts pulling water out of your greens.

More water being released. This time on sixteen. #fairview #greensdrainage #drainage #golflife #turflife @GPIDrainage @TurfgrassDS @DavidOatis @GCSAA @metgcsa @CAGCS1929 @PatJonesTweets @turfnet

@Omega_Turf @LippyLippyLippy Congrats Dave. Wish you lots of success in your new role.

@bamabearcat @LinksGems @backninepress Thanks for the Knollwood mention, it has been a joy taking care of the place for the last few years.

The three Seth Raynor courses that surprised me the most while working on this book? Morris County, Rock Spring and Knollwood Raynor course I wish I could have played? The original Deepdale Raynor design I wish had been built? The two Del Monte Links courses Raynor project I wish I had more time to research: his work in Puerto Rico

@GCSAA @MetGCSA @jim_pav @GCM_Magazine @GCSAAConference Congratulations Jimmy👏👏👏👏🐐

@AnthonyPioppi @KnollwoodCClub That would have been a great hole, not quite as great as what they replaced it with though. Do you know if the pond is the same as it is now? If so green would have been in the current landing area for 18.

Not a Macdonald-Raynor-Banks Short Hole. This is Lawrence Van Etten's work at Knollwood CC, circa 1925, 110 yards. Hole is no longer there. Location is now 18th fairway. @KnollwoodCClub @ocott

While hourly wages for golf course maintenance workers have gone up in recent years, there is still a significant pay gap compared to other industries that are competing for the same workers. "The Wage Issue in Golf Course Maintenance" 👇

Pins are in, Nick Tournament opening day! @Whaley_KC @pgawestagronomy. Stadium Course will open Wednesday.

@FGCturf No, was not planning on going. Would have been great to catch up with you.

@ocott Thanks Scott! Good to hear from you. Will you be in Orlando for the GCSAa ?

Excited to announce I have accepted the position of Director of Agronomy at the Fremont Golf Club! I can not wait to add to the amazing history of this prestigious golf club! I will be forever grateful for my time at The Pines CC! Thank you to everyone that got me to this point!

@SHGC_Grounds I have done it the past 6 years at 2 different clubs and had great results each time. Fall app around Thanksgiving with Interface, Spring apps based on degree days.

Trying the late fall/winter proxy spray for poa seedheads. Anybody else have success with this?

@mjsully123 We have the TDR 350's. Interested in trying the Pogo as well.

@ocott Who is the maker/ brand of the new one you are using. We have TDR 300’s but have recently been upgrading to the 350. I am intrigued by the Pogo and different features like salinity.

For those here for #Turftwitter and use the TDR Moisture Meter, curious on your methods…moisture guide for syringing, are you tracking, using the app? Comment on your probe size if you like

@mjsully123 We use the 1.5 probes, check around 15 spots per green in the morning to help with prep. Check again mid afternoon to determine night irrigation.

FYI this isn't stopping. There have been 18 mass shootings SINCE Uvalde. You need to know this. Because it's not going to stop until we do something. 1/ Here's just a sampling of the slaughter in the last six days:

@IanAndrewGolf Ian, enjoyed reading about your year and spending some time with you this summer. Putting green is doing great, thanks again for all the help. Talk to you soon.
