A study @MSUTurf evaluated spring seeding dates, creeping bentgrass & Poa annua to help golf course superintendents re-establish putting greens after winterkill. Earlier seeding dates & bentgrass cultivars had only small differences. @PerkinsonPayton doi.org/10.1002/cft2.7…

What a perfect day for a @GCSAA @TheFirstGreen Field Trip hosted by @rabemich & @GrassJedi at the Hancock Turfgrass Research Center at @michiganstateu! Special thanks to all the folks who helped at the stations including @rbearssturf, @PerkinsonPayton, @MSUTurf & @PGiordano15!

Still processing the passing of Dr. Joe Vargas today. Joe was a mentor, colleague, and friend. Cheers Joe - you definitely did it your way!

Turf School hands-on disease, insect, weed, and turf ID labs this afternoon. Thanks to @JMVargasJr @MSUturfdoc @PerkinsonPayton @rabemich @JKilbyTurf & John Stone for teaching the labs!

Don't miss the latest #WinterTurf blog post, "Simulated winterkill reestablishment", by @PerkinsonPayton and @MSUTurf to learn more about an experiment looking at early spring establishment of creeping bentgrass. winterturf.umn.edu/simulated-wint… #CreepingBentgrass #PoaAnnua

Winterkill reestablishment – Payton Perkinson & Dr. Kevin Frank will discuss putting green reestablishment practices in the spring. The effect of creeping bentgrass cultivar and Two-Putt annual bluegrass seeded on three dates on two different rootzones will be presented.

I had a great time at the First Green event at Lyon Oaks Golf Course yesterday. It was a pleasure to work with @Perfsportsturf at the soil station and connect with all the other volunteers.

Thanks @GreenJacket_TC for donating a permeable cover for one of our WinterTurf projects this year!

@rabemich @MSUTurf Thank you for getting this plot ready for the spring!

“What do you do in the winter?” @PerkinsonPayton @MSUTurf

Great day to wrap up WinterTurf projects before the snow falls. A couple projects related to snow mold - fertilizer rate & timing, and leaf mulching for home lawns.

Happy Fall.. Aeration season is upon us again…@GrassJedi @MiGCSA @miturfgrass

A good friend of mine took this photo today at Oakmont CC.
