QOTD: Haven’t done one of these in a while so let’s see how many responses we can get. What’s one change you’ve made to your agronomic program that actually moved the needle? And what led you to make this change?

@e_vangerwen @jminceyturf @GoodeTurf Eric, with deep watering we usually go with close to 60 minutes divided into 3 separate cycles of 20 min. Then let it ride as long as possible in between watering. Some of the greens will need to be watered before others, so we just have them in groups.

@mindfulsuper_ @jminceyturf @GoodeTurf Rolling daily is huge, big fan of it myself. With deep watering, how much are you putting down in a given cycle? Also curious to learn what cultural practices you no longer do to encourage bentgrass.

@jminceyturf @GoodeTurf The three main agronomic changes were: 1) rolling daily 2) deep watering 3) far less intensive cultural practices (to promote bentgrass)

Would be interesting to know what percentage of courses are incorporating other practices like DryJect, Drill and Fill, etc

As with many practices, it is course dependent on a variety of factors. No silver bullet, it all depends on what your goals are. Interesting to see the popularity of cool-season courses using samurai/ninja tines mid season. usga.org/content/usga/h…

I play golf with a guy sometimes at the club. He fills every divot, his and others, fixes ball marks anywhere he sees them. He’ll also pick trash from the bushes. Sweet, kind, gentleman. Also a billionaire. Be that guy.

@jminceyturf Not enough. A goal of mine this year is to walk the course more when time permits. Going to shoot for once every two weeks minimum, either playing or during work hours. I like to believe there are countless benefits for work and physical and mental health

QOTD: How often do you walk your golf course? And what benefits (health or work related) do you see from walk the course?

Beauty day to finish up turf work for 2025. Team has crushed it - lots of holes, lots of sand, fairways sliced 2x, dormant fungicide applied, compost applied, tree work already underway - gearing up for an awesome 2026!

Dog days of summer at BBR. Course is weathering the drought quite well overall. Keep on grinding!

Forecast said 100% 25-35mm, only 5mm in the rain gauge this morning. Glad I turned off rain hold last night. Keep pounding water. Next heat wave on the way!

Time to let the greens breathe after a very wet start to the season, followed by a roll and dusting of sand 👌🏻 summer heat is on its way!
