Thank you for joining us for the 108th Minnesota State Open presented by Yamaha Golf & Utility

My last day at RGCC has come and gone. I’m very lucky to have called this place home for the past 5 seasons. Thank you to everyone that has helped me get to this point and believed in me! I am excited for the next chapter in life at Des Moines Golf!

Day 1 Member Invitational at Rochester Golf evening greens cut and check for water. New turf is holding up exceptionally well! #007XL

Opening day has arrived! I want to thank my team for their hard work and the RGCC members for their patience and investment into 007XL greens and fairways. The course is in great shape and will only continue to improve! @SammonsErik @Logan_Turf @MitchellLinner1 @therealjakeisa1

@therealjakeisa1 brushing our new 007XL fairways for the first time! Should help tighten them up as they continue to mature. We don’t plan on taking the brushes off all season! @DoctorBrush

Rochester, MN new fairways seeded in 2023 to 007XL bent -- impressive spring green up. At this time there are over 50 golf courses who already have 007XL bent on greens, fairways/tees and another 50 that are ready to seed/sod 007XL in 2024. For a new variety that is recognition!

Total fairway re-grassing for enhanced sustainability. Two July apps of Round Up two weeks. Scalp/remove debris. Slit seed in mid August with 007XL bent at the rate of 60 pounds total per acre.

Thank you @JohnDeere, @EnvuGolfUS, @RainBirdGolf, and @PinehurstResort for the incredible opportunity. Such a great way to network and learn from some of the best in the industry #greenstartacademy

Started lowering mowing heights on our sodded greens. #007XL They’re down to 210” field height. Topdress and 3/8” solid tine behind. So far things are looking good. @MitchellLinner1 @Logan_Turf

@Logan_Turf and his new best bud the Vredo Turf Buddy reseeding some tight spots on thinner areas. Thank you Revels Turf and @RGilmoreRevels for the quick shipping on this handy seeder. Slow and steady is winning the race to full turf coverage before winter!

Golf course closed 32 days ago to regrass fairways and greens. Very happy with we’re at today. Thank you RGCC members for allowing our team to take this project on! Very excited for 2024 and beyond and the golfing experiences everyone will enjoy on new 007XL turf.

Thank you Superior Turf Services @EricCounselman @schmidyturf for the fertilizer to help establish our new 007XL fairways! Things are progressing nicely.

After a late night we finished sodding all of the greens yesterday. The crew absolutely killed it throughout the project. Such an amazing experience! @RochesterGCC

First mowing on fairways after seeding with 007XL. 18 days after seeding. Well on our way to full coverage. @Logan_Turf @SammonsErik
