@SHistorians @FryStrakaGolf It really took the 1000 year rain event very well! Fortunately no storm surge from Milton. A lot of trees and debris down though. On the bright side we’ll have less shade issues for a few months.

First round post-hurricane Milton. Belleair was in amazing shape thanks to our Superintendent @DANeiswender! 4-5 trees down, erosion on the 6th tee box & the 6th green slightly stressed from the salt water but completely playable! @FryStrakaGolf, Ross’ creeks did their job!!!

@MrQuality73 @SHistorians @BelleairCC @gcamagazine @TheTsl We got away very lucky compared to many others. Can’t imaging what they are dealing with up in the mountains of GA, NC and TN.

@SHistorians @DANeiswender @BelleairCC @gcamagazine @TheTsl Wow ..great work. Lots of our courses in the mountains here in NC are in rough shape. I've heard Grandfather, Hound Ears, Boone and Linville had a ton of flooding

This is a special shoutout to @DANeiswender the superintendent of @BelleairCC and his crew. A week ago two of our greens were submerged by the Gulf of Mexico and a 6-8 feet storm surge. No filter on these photos! Insane job! Here is the club today!!! @gcamagazine @TheTsl

@SHistorians @BelleairCC @gcamagazine @TheTsl Thank you!!

@ShaneRice33 That’s frustrating! We get it too at different times of the year. They’ll pick a green and cost us 100 or more plugs. I have no idea what they are looking for. Not normally during earth worm season. Good luck!

They’re wearing on my last nerve. This green has been hit 3 times in less than two weeks. Wish we could hunt these birds like they do in Texas!

@FloridaTGA Thank you for all you’ve done for our industries Mac!!

Mac's friends at FTGA wish him a happy retirement. Mac remains committed to community service and photography in his retirement, and he left FTGA a better association than he found it. Thank you, Mac, for all you've done for the industry. indd.adobe.com/view/e15fadd0-…

@ragantechnical He was brilliant and spot on!

Comedy, not comedy

Here is an aerial of the road. The proposed path would be inside the tree line that currently protects the road & traffic from errant golf shots. Cutting into that space for a multi-purpose path would certainly bring poor struck shots into the path of unsuspecting pedestrians.

Belleair CC has always been a big part of @TownofBelleair & I humbly ask you to reconsider the MM path which will be bad for our club & potentially dangerous for the pedestrians of Belleair. Thank you for your consideration. The Society of Golf Historians

The proposed multimodal path will bring innocent pedestrians into harms way, as it will run along two golf holes where golfers will be hitting drivers & approach shots that run parallel with your planned path. If I am not mistaken a similar path exists one block away. Cont’d…

Belleair CC has also recently received recognition as one of the best restored golf courses in the country & that honor is one we share with the @TownofBelleair, as the Town of Belleair played a pivotal role in our design and success! Something we should all be proud of! Contd…

As the oldest golf course in FL, our club has spent millions of dollars restoring the course that was once considered one of the Top half dozen golf courses in the USA (AP article circa 1916). I believe the course & it’s history represents the town it was named after…contd…

@TloweTgrass Yes! I’ve heard of adding calcium chloride to ultra pure water to dirty it up and keep it from striping the soil. Unfortunately we don’t have that problem.

@SHistorians You’re not supposed to spell out the S word!

Longest round of my life? We played in well under 4 hours, but I had a serious bout of the SHANKS! OMG I would drive the ball down the middle and then shank. Rough rough day! 2 birdies and maybe 10 shanks!

@GrumpyGreenkepr Gateway College has some great online turf programs. They may have some programs to help with tuition.

Guys, Grumpy here needs your help. Have a kid on staff a year out of HS. Cant afford college but wants to become educated by taking some classes. What are some online programs that aren’t going to cost him $500+/credit?

My youngest started playing the electric guitar in the beginning of January. Someday she wants to be a lacrosse goalie who plays heavy metal!

@trentjinman @DogsOfTurf Sorry to hear! I don’t think he liked me though.

We had to say goodbye to Pete today. He was the quintessential @DogsOfTurf with the run of three different courses over his almost 13 years. Everybody he met was his new best friend and he never met any food he didn’t try and inhale. Such a great dog that will be missed dearly.

@SHistorians @FryStrakaGolf @BelleairCC Old 5 for me. Love the look of 3 but to play was 4,5,7,10 and 13. Only played once so I’m sure the list will narrow over time.

I have hosted quite a few folks at Belleair CC since we opened. When we finish the round, I always ask which was your favorite hole? The Results with zero clear consensus: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12 and 15 I think this is a good sign @FryStrakaGolf @BelleairCC @DANeiswender

@MadScientistFF $2.00/hr on the pro shop books for golf course labor.

Without saying your age, What was the starting pay rate for your first job?

@mjsully123 Yes, sodium and bicarbonate sneak up on us. We try to pogo at least once a week unless no rain then more frequently. We do soil, paste, tissue and water samples at least quarterly. For us the water is more important as that’s what changes throughout the year.

@DANeiswender Frequent salinity issues? Do you test for it when you do soil tests? Which test do you use?

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
