@TheCinesthetic The dinner scene in Django.

The card game scene in Training Day (2001) is where the movie suddenly stops feeling cool and starts feeling terrifying. What begins like a casual hangout slowly turns into a complete nightmare once Jake realizes there’s no safe way out of that room.

Do you agree? Who’s missing? 👇🏻

@MaacTheft It has been disgracefully neglected. The whole walk from the train station used to be part of the experience and is now an absolute crime nightmare.

One thing that always bothered me is how poorly kept the fields that replaced the original Yankee stadium are kept. It should've been a no brainer for the Yankees and the Bronx to team up to maintain it at a professional level for youth teams to use.

Morning frost delay makes for a great opportunity to improve #GolfCourseSafety @golf_safety

Double Hazard?

@SL175150 @GreensPro We are obviously talking DLR Van Halen, no offense SH.

@GreensPro Toro and VH. No better combination.

No mow May is here again! Please join us Saturday morning @ 930 am Central. We will break down 10 phone calls Supers never want to receive from their Distributor Sales Representative.

Some shots of the week. Getting set to host a US Open Local Qualifier this Monday. We haven’t had a USGA event here since 2013, so we are pretty pumped and the course is just about ready. #fairview #usopen #golf #golfcoursephotography #greenwich #golflife #turflife

@GinaMuscato I would include Bill White in there too. He was great with Rizzuto.

Iconic Yankees voices in my lifetime: Phil Rizzuto Mel Allen (TWIB) Bob Sheppard Suzyn Waldman John Sterling Michael Kay This is quite a list & there’s more… we’re so lucky as Yankees fans. 🖤

Expectations for newly renovated greens are often very high, but it will take some time before they can perform at their peak 👇

Water sample day. #fairview #greenwich #sustainable #bmps

Poa annua is loved by some superintendents and disliked by many. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, understanding more about the biology of this highly adaptable plant can help you manage it more successfully 👇
