We tried a bunker surround, too!

Utilization of prescribed fire in the natural grass areas was a first for me today.

@SnowmakingApp LOL

@RedHatTurf Soft, walking forwards is a nice break between greens

These trailers are saving us time and saving the legs of staff!!

The addition of this spray wheel to our bag of tricks is increasing our level of detail. Keeping species from migrating into each other is a non stop job.

@Honer_Boner Precision purchase

@RedHatTurf In-house build?

@19jgibson LOL

Bermudagrass has started to sprout in Charlottesville, VA

@KenGoldin Card shop in Richmond thinks mine might be able to get an 8.

The single greatest trading card of my childhood! This is the Larry Bird/Magic Johnson Rookie Card in a PSA GEM MT 10! This is a truly sensational example of a widely coveted tribute to three Hall of Famers. 🏀🏀🏀 Bid on this iconic collectible in our historic Goldin 100: bit.ly/4tlZXAF

@LinksGems Here are some walls at Keswick’s Full Cry! And a new one coming to #9 soon. I’m sure other Dye courses have great examples, too!

(2 of 2 - walls…) 5. The farm wall on the 8th of the North Course at Stonewall (bonus points for having to hit over it twice). 6. The secret walled beach behind the 16th at Cypress Point. 7. The walls at Shelter Harbor, which are everywhere here. 8. The boundary wall on the 6th hole at Myopia Hunt Club. Which great walls am I missing?

Tonight’s weird golf topic: walls. I absolutely love a good wall on a golf course. Especially an ancient stone wall. And ESPECIALLY when that wall is in play. Scotland golf courses are full of great walls. And there’s a couple in the states too. What’s your favorite golf course wall? Here are 8 of mine, starting with 4 in Scotland: 1. The Pit at North Berwick (perhaps the greatest wall of them all). 2. The famous Old Station Road wall at the Road Hole on the Old Course at St. Andrews. 3. The old boundary wall at the 9th at Crail. 4. This ancient, crumbling wall on the 10th at Elie. (1 of 2…)

Many of you know I love drainage. 2nd course i’ve managed w/ sand cap fwy, but no perf tile. Industry alert: your sand cap holds water without perf tile, spend the $ for that, too!

Anyone have more obvious examples of tree root competition? 🤣 And don’t tell me to cut them down. That’s not an option. They’re highly important to the integrity of the hole. 🤦‍♂️

@iTweetTurf don’t erase me! Scalping Bermuda contamination fro TF overseed.

@FredYelverton Watered in?

Sencor 6 oz/a + Pylex 0.25 oz/a is an outstanding POST treatment for goosegrass in bermudagrass. Photo 26 days after treatment

@altshot2 Will all 4 jump and clear the bunker? The stripes are very nice.

Going big (4-wide) today

@fried_egg_golf I’d also consider less grooves on the club face. Watch somebody play hickory clubs compared to today’s technology and even soft greens will bounce and roll.

Sounds like a good reason for a rollback

@garrettwestholt @tonynyssegcs Agree, and I would get a dual grade in case you do more than drainage down the road. Spectra makes a nice magnetized receiver for about $500 that’s nice for putting on a bucket, blade, or trencher.

@tonynyssegcs Topcon spend the extra money and get the one with slope so easy to use

If you were going to buy a laser level for drainage, grading, etc, what would you go with?
