The place is starting to look like a golf course! So many trees that needed desperately pruned to open up views across the property. Nels Johnson and my crew are killing it. Can’t believe the amount of wood taken off this property since the tornado in July!

Whether its water, turf issues, or labor, superintendents are problem solvers. @sdelpiere chats about this role in our latest video presented by @HarrellsLLC.

Got away and finally played Midlothian CC yesterday. Course was perfect, good work my friend! @MitchellLinner1

@SDeBolt_DLFPS Stop by if you are in the area!

@RBuddJ Was gonna give you a call but saw all the destruction and figured I’d wait. Way to go!! Be in Chicago in a couple of weeks

After 2.5 weeks, the entire course is finally back open as of today. Around 180 trees total. Can’t thank my dedicated staff and Nels Johnson/SavATree enough. Course looks great 😎

Direct hit last Monday night. It’s been a hell of a week. Can’t thank my staff and Nels Johnson enough! 9 holes open on Tuesday. Lots more work ahead.

Was a great weekend for the big member/member. Staff had the place dialed!

@calebspackler OG Anuew, cheap yet effective

@RBuddJ Bent? .5” Anuew ez, or Anuew OG? Rates are Different is the only reason I ask. OG Anuew at 12 and primo at 6? Anuew still the best pgr on the market IMO. No stacking issues when combined with anything

Primo+ Anuew on Fairways and Greens. I’m a firm believer it’s the best/least harsh combo right now. #noclippings

@TCoke2266 To each their own

@RBuddJ Legacy is the best/least harsh combo, better length of regulation, poa suppression, color, density and no rebound effect.

@PAplantfreak Yes, of course.

@RBuddJ Do you incorporate phosphites in your fungicide rotation? I just started to use Prudent 44 (not a super but I work for a turf company) mixed in each of my fungicide apps and it’s made a ton of difference.

@MinikahdaTurf Anuew starts to ding my poa more than I like by itself at higher rates. I’m not trying to reduce my high poa population. The combo keeps my poa happy enough with reallly good regulation.

@RBuddJ If Primo and Anuew are both late stage GA inhibitors why the need to combine them? Why not just increase the Anuew rate?

@JandM2014 Bent/poa mix. Right now .20/m Primo and 6/A on fairways. .135/m primo and 3.5/A greens.

@RBuddJ And what's the grass composition?

More from our efforts @KenoshaCC. Ross used angled fairways, bunkering and cops to give provide strategic definition to otherwise flat ground. Only a few years ago, most of these features were completely lost in trees.

@SDeBolt_DLFPS @sdelpiere One of the best in the biz

Next stop on the SuperBents tour was at Dragon Ridge CC @sdelpiere The course was amazing and his Dominator greens are pure. One of the members stated that there were no imperfections in the greens that she could use to line up putts. #DLF,#SeedResearch, #SuperBents

@adam_edick Let er eat!

@putt4dough24 I am being bias, but Knollwood over Onwentsia or Exmoor hands down

If you’ve played these 4 - how are you ranking them? If you haven’t - how do they rank on your wish list?

@TWess04 Exactly 😎

Successful Monday! Heavy traffic tee resodded before we knock down a few problem trees around it this winter.
