@shullzy @wessexintl @turfwerksinc Can confirm we started before the 0.85” of rain had concluded. Still sprinkling when we hit the first green. Extremely clean and efficient.

@EanDaniels Everything is fighting me this week too! It’s been a long week and year already. Frost yesterday morning and 90 today. I am betting you still come out on top. After 25 years it’s rare to be defeated. 👊🏼

Yesterday was a tough day at work where nothing went right. We definitely have a lot of grass to mow & try to get caught up on plant protectant applications. Today, I tried to take in the views this morning and notice the good and move past yesterday’s struggles.

Nate Tegtmeier has a keen eye for detail! Sod stripped, laser grade, & back together very quickly. Hoping to do many more in the near future!

Bacterial etiolation, wet wilt, nematodes. Random vagrants roaming about…..

@purdueturfy You must be talking about Des Moines? #readyforsnow

Morning pep talk for the Bentgrass

@iTweetTurf If the owner is in the earth moving business- $0 for that. Cut corners everywhere hire a super and expect problems with project immediately. Maybe $1.5 million for what you’ve asked for. Anything resembling a professional product will be double to triple depends on scope of work

Loaded question but if you wanted to renovate a 9-holer, including reshaping, green construction, and irrigation what can you expect to pay on the cheap side? Not trying to build Augusta, just trying to improve a property. How cheap can you do it?

“The artificial turf industry has [convinced] millions… its short-lived, nonrecyclable, fossil-fuel-derived product is… good for the environment. Were there a greenwashing hall of fame, this would be in it.” -Charles Miller, a Climate Reality Project chair #BanPlasticTurf

@ChrisMWilliams The modern game (albeit safer) isn’t nearly as entertaining for me. Couple this with the incessant tv timeouts & reviews & the product is damn near unwatchable- despite the team being arguably the best we’ve ever had.

Two reviews in a minute and 15 seconds. We've got a problem in this sport.

After 25 years, mornings like these remind me it’s still a labor of love!

@Mwilliamson46 It’s really tough to say without seeing firsthand & history. Could have been a pro with a faulty or leaking nozzle. A quality slow release fertilizer & patience will be fine but don’t over feed. An @iowalawncare pro could mask it with a liquid application of N & Fe.

@JimSedrel Assume it will take longer to green up and fill In? Or should I have something additional done?

Any lawn experts out there on why my grass looks like this? @JimSedrel
