“Implementing extreme ownership requires checking your ego and operating with a high degree of humility. Admitting mistakes, taking ownership, and developing a plan to overcome challenges are integral to any successful team. “-Jocko Willink Great read or listen for any leader.

So it begins.. new greens, tees, and bunkers coming right up

Testing irrigation heads might be Teddi’s favorite job

First mow on overseed is always so rewarding. This one especially so after some long 100°+ days. 1 course down, 2 to go!

Reached in to turn valve on and thought it sounded funny til I saw him hanging out and not so happy with my intrusion. 🐍

Just a little bit of activity on property today. Team progressing well with recovery efforts.

Bunkers, trees/saguaros, and desert wash repairs all on deck… oh and a full overseed on Wild Burro 9 next week 😅

Tough week for the team but just about finished digging ourselves out and brought 20 satellites that had water and/or surge damage back online

Thought I was safe from flooding out in the desert but boy was I wrong. Monsoon popped up yesterday afternoon and packed a serious punch.

Didn’t think skunk rescue was on the agenda today but here we are

Mechanic gives me part number for tool he wants to replace and search results says it’s vintage.. might be time for an upgrade 😅

10 controllers with no power this morning. Good thing it’s only going to be 110° today. 🥵

@jminceyturf @DogsOfTurf Sweet Miss Teddi

@DogsOfTurf Alright Turf Twitter. Let’s start a comment chain. Drop pictures of your turf dog as a puppy and then a current picture!

Teddi says this course could use some work… course was closed in 2018 and turned into a nature preserve. Cool seeing Mother Nature reclaim the desert. 🌵

Wrapping up cultural practices this week with collar and approach v-cut. Great tool to help eliminate collar dams.

Wasn’t expecting an invasion of little grass frogs in the desert. Millions of these guys invading after a 0.25” rain last week

Desert island tee maintenance is kind of a pain but gotta get it done

Team getting after it with a fairway v-cut this morning

You can just do things

Great leaders think like farmers.
