So just told someone what that I'm studying turfgrass management and the last five minutes have been spent saying "no its really a thing"

Augusta National spends millions of dollars making the course firm AND green. It works for the Masters every April, but it has also created a false perception of what perfect conditioning looks like for a Top 100 course.

It's international Thank a Golf Course Superintendent Day! One of the best ways we can show our appreciation for all they do is by making their job a little easier. Here's a few ideas 👇 #ThankASuper #ThankAGreenkeeper

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

Extremely hot and humid weather has many golf courses under serious stress right now. You may notice some temporary changes in playing conditions as superintendents adjust maintenance to help the grass stay as healthy as possible 👇

Friendly reminder to NOT apply sunscreen or insect repellent while standing on grass.

Extreme heat and humidity will be affecting a big part of the U.S. this week and golf course superintendents will be playing defense. If you notice some temporary changes in playing conditions, remember that slow grass is better than no grass!

@ECCSuper77 @USGAGrnSection Great info. Would be curious about the numbers before maintenance takes place and how well each one holds to later in the day.

Our @USGAGrnSection GS3 ball continues to teach. These matrix readings have been consistent all year. Mowing slows greens down but smooths them up. Rolling produces speed and makes them truer. Left mow/roll, right roll only. Healthy turf with roll only while meeting expectations.

Raking a bunker is part of golf etiquette, so make sure you know the right way to do it. Your fellow golfers will thank you!

Rain is a good thing, but too much at the wrong time can be frustrating for golfers and superintendents. Here’s what to expect after wet weather and how to minimize the impact on course conditions 👇

After a stretch of freezing weather, a mild winter day can seem like a great chance to play golf, but if the soil is thawed at the surface and frozen below there is a risk of damage from foot and cart traffic 👇

This winter has been a tough one so far, but golfers are still itching to play every chance they get. Just remember that courses are more vulnerable to damage in winter and need some extra protection 👇

In the imperfect world of golf course maintenance, being a perfectionist can lead to problems. Chris Tritabaugh @ct_turf explains how focusing on excellence rather than perfection helps his team prioritize & deliver great results @Hazeltine with a high level of job satisfaction.

Weather has been cooperative for the most part this winter, keeping our bulk applicators busy! We still have some available dates before the spring, so if you’re in the northeast, contact your sales representative to schedule. #Perfectionists #LetsGrowTogether #LimeTime #Gypsum

When bunkers play very firm, golfers may think they don't have enough sand in them, but @whitlark explains there may be other factors involved #GSRrewind 👇

Minimizing self-inflicted damage from mechanical injury should be on every superintendent's list of New Year's Resolutions. This article from @DarinBevard has strategies that can help #GSRrewind👇

Frost delays are frustrating, but they help prevent lasting damage to the course. Learn more about why it's important to be patient on those chilly mornings 👇

The root pruning paid off this year, especially during the past two months!! #fairview #greenwich #waterconservation #bestmanagementpractices #bmps #rootpruning #trees #golf #golflife #turflife

As we head into August, it's always good to remember that slow grass is better than no grass. Don't be afraid to play defense when the weather isn't cooperating 👇

It must be August, because today’s Green Section Record has a lot of pictures of damaged and dead turf. We have an article explaining some of the main reasons why grass dies, a new video about bunker washouts, and much more. Click to subscribe 👇

Mid summer weather update. Today will be day 19 in the 90’s. We’ve had 38 days since 5/1 where the dew point hit over 70 & 12 days where it hit over 80. Rain since 5/1 is 9.67”. Total evapotranspiration, 13.51”. That’s a tough summer for the Met area let alone for just 1/2 of it.
