Scott LesChander

Olde Florida Golf Club is seeking an Assistant Golf Course Superintendent to join our agronomy team. One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been helping assistants grow and move on to leadership roles in our industry!

And just like that golf Course Superintendents, all across the country are over budget

@mylawnjournal I would recommend waiting on your tenacity app as it will most certainly get washed off the plant tonight/tomorrow in the rain. In contrast, we WANT the rain to move our application down into the soil for our application.

@scottleschander Do I need to put down tenacity today i. Hyde park or can I wait until Tuesday?

The course enjoyed the warmer temps and ☀️. Another rapid start to the growing season in the Ohio River Valley.

@mylawnjournal Without knowing what your specific target is (I would assume bent/weed contamination) for Tenacity, I can’t speak reliably about it as it is mostly used as a post emergent or right at seeding. We are applying Aqua-Cap (pendimethalin) as a PREemergent which behaves differently.

This green might look a little strange, but there's nothing wrong with it. Slight differences in plant genetics can create a mosaic of colors in early spring 👇

First spray of the 2026 season went out today. Cut on greens and collars as well as some of the wetter fairways as well. Next week looks like a wet roller coaster! ❄️ 🌧️

A few forsythia buds just beginning to break in Lexington, KY

Snow piles and more importantly, frozen soils remain throughout the course, especially in shaded areas. We are monitoring conditions and will update accordingly through the Proshop.

One photo says it all... @osubeaverturf @WCTA_social

Impressive amount of thaw yesterday. It certainly felt great. We’re anxious to see how the turf weathered the deep freeze. Thankful for the blanket, let’s hope as it vanishes the temps remain seasonal. ☀️

‼️It's not your imagination. The stretch of weather we've seen the last few weeks has been the coldest we have seen in #Cincinnati since 1978 and the 6th coldest stretch on record. Our average temperature from January 15th through February 5th was only 16.8 degrees. 🥶 @Local12

@rscottkincaid Here’s to hoping for continued generosity from Mother Nature. 😎

@scottleschander Had the exact same observation, soil temps at 3" and 6" leveled off at 28F-29F.

Check out this interesting graph! Prior to snow cover you can see the dramatic soil temperature shifts. With 10+ inches of snow cover you can actually see soil temperatures RISE despite sustained air temps remaining significantly colder during this stretch. #nerdalert

A few morning shots taken this past fall from the corner of holes 1 & 8 at @TerraceParkCC Our work has joined the surrounds of both greens with shortgrass and upgraded the appearance of the bunkers into a Travis-inspired design style. @scottleschander and Team are killing it!

It’s been 5 years since renovation work was completed at San Vicente! Situated in eastern San Diego County, the design was inspired by the Australian Sandbelt. Named 2021 Public ROTY by Golf Inc., and a top public course by Golf.com. #SanVicenteGolf

Putting surfaces received a heavy topdressing today before Winter’s next visit later this week. The sandy blanket will help insulate the plants and help us prolong the interval for the next mow, keeping more plant protectants in place. 🏖️ 😎

R2 excited?!
