@BHannesson Jealous of the minimal irrigation!

@DerekSheffield Fairway irrigation is not such a frequent event over here. Just a brain fart 🤓 but the odds one would be directly on top of the sprinkler when it started are pretty low, but never zero! Especially since we only have a centerline, so just 8 sprinklers on the entire fairway.

I refuse to take part in grow-ins unless there are robots. So good on the first cuts.

@BHannesson We had a 550 and a similar sized Kress unit. Both good Kress very good really. We now have 2 580s. Only been working a month but expect your right on their durability. Mowing 4 fwys with the Ceora units. Wanted the increased production. Will see how they hold up with some repairs

@DerekSheffield I'm still not convinced on the larger types like Ceora. I think the new 580 is a sweet spot. It uses relatively cheap parts and and is super light. But my 550s have been pretty low maintenance.

@BHannesson Hilarious! Do you schedule them while irrigation is running normally or was that a one off situation?

@DerekSheffield I've only had the Ceora on a trial. But have heard of what you are describing. I've mostly used the 550's, and the older 450. Been very lucky with them, apart from one that was on top of a sprinkler when it popped and spun on top of it for solid 9 min. It's no longer with us 😄

Saw this on Linked In…powerful…. We will never forget. "Dear 77,301,997 Americans who voted for Trump, Being Canadian has never been about shouting the loudest. We don’t pound our chests or demand attention. We are sometimes like the quiet kid on the playground, just wanting to get along with others. We hold doors, say sorry even when it’s not our fault, and shovel our neighbour’s driveway just because it’s the right thing to do. We believe in fairness, decency, and looking out for one another. We are the world’s greatest neighbour… and yes, our spelling is the correct one. We show up. In the words of our Prime Minister on Saturday night, “from the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of the Korean Peninsula, from the fields of Flanders to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours. During the summer of 2005, when Hurricane Katrina ravaged your great city of New Orleans, or mere weeks ago, when we sent water bombers to tackle the wildfires in California, and during the day the world stood still — Sept. 11, 2001 — when we provided refuge to stranded passengers and planes, we were always there, standing with you”. And yet, here we are – watching your president, a man who built his legacy on bullying, turn his sights on us. He mocks us, belittles us, and treats us like some inconvenience rather than the ally who has stood by you through thick and thin. It’s easy to mistake our politeness for passivity, or our kindness for weakness. But here’s the thing about the quiet kid on the playground: push that kid far enough, and that kid pushes back. Canada has never needed to boast about its strength. We just prove it. On battlefields. In boardrooms. On the ice. So, if you think you can push us around and take us for granted – think again. You think we will become your “cherished 51st state” – think again. Underestimate us… that will be fun. Because the quiet kid? The quiet kid remembers. And when the quiet kid finally stands up, the whole playground takes notice. Now we are pissed. Sincerely, Canada"

It is a long one but an important message in today's course conditions @vgc1893 courseconditions.wordpress.com/2024/04/05/tod…

A few bunkers are getting an upgrade at Seymour Golf Club, great place to start the work season.

@Stu_Sheridan @BCGSA1995 @Scooter_Turf Glad you guys were able to get out while the weather was decent. Hasn’t been pleasant since!

What a great way to kick off the season for the @BCGSA1995 Lower Mainland chapter with a golf event at Seymour Golf and Country Club this past Monday. The golf course is in great shape, thank you for hosting and well done @DerekSheffield @Scooter_Turf

What a great time at the @Mbsupers Conference in my hometown Winnipeg. Educational sessions were top notch and great to see old and new faces.

Genesis Invitational at Riviera GCC. Great times in the bunkers👍 Thanks for the awesome meals! ⁦⁦@PGATOURAgronomy⁩

Such a fantastic week working at the Genesis Invitational. The hospitality was amazing, a true honour to work along side the Riv staff and turf colleagues from around the world.⁦@PGATOURAgronomy⁩ ⁦@Scooter_Turf⁩

Looking for smooth and true trends to indicate time for seasonal topdress. First topdress for us in '23-'24 golf season. Got an increase in speed/farness but smooth got worse and true was over x2 goal.

February 13th 🚀

@Scooter_Turf That’s a room full of heroes! Thank you all.
