Winter injury is not just disruptive and frustrating, it’s expensive. A recent study conducted with superintendents across the northern U.S. and Canada puts real numbers to the financial impact 👇

A new statewide study conducted on behalf of the Wisconsin Golf Alliance shows golf in WI generates $6.44 billion in total economic impact, supports 56,595 jobs, and contributes $2 billion in wages, underscoring the industry’s dynamic role in Wisconsin’s economy and communities.

Come see members of the #WinterTurf team at the @GCSAAConference! Stop by University Pavilion (Booth 1909) Wed. and Thurs. (2/4-2/5) to discuss winter stresses and see the environmental sensing nodes that are being used to better understand winter stress on golf greens.

With 250 folks registered, we might have officially run out of space at the 59th annual Wisconsin Golf Turf Symposium! Looking forward to two great days of education and networking.

Working on a ppt w/ @TurfgrassChou and asked ChatGPT to create an image of 'Bucky Badger exploring the turfgrass microbiome' and aside from the obvious questions of what's in those test tubes and what's the scope plugged into and why is he using a magnifying glass, it's not awful

My department at UW is creating a series of 'History Notes' to highlight some of it's greatest accomplishments. Happy to share that the latest History Note focuses on the role that retired professor Gayle Worf played in discovering necrotic ring spot! plantpath.wisc.edu/wp-content/upl…

Another great TAP shop talk today visiting Blackhawk CC and superintendent @ChadGrimm910 to talk equipment maintenance and irrigation. Hard to believe we’re already 1/4 of the way through the program!

Our Turfgrass Apprenticeship Program is off to a great start! Last week we visited @LeonardTPCWi to talk course construction, and today we visited @hawksnr to talk course cultivation. Great experience to learn from some of the best!

@DanFredGCS I’m not aware of any work in this area. My hunch is that heavy late fall topdressing might increase snow mold severity slightly, but not to a degree it would impact fungicide selection or lead to control failures

@plkoch2 Thanks for the talk this week, very good stuff! Has there been anything done with topdressing affecting applications or development of snow mold?
