Great to have @timriis1 from @TurfEquipSupply guest lecture for @iaa_umd irrigation lab and discuss golf sprinklers this week! Thank you, Tim!

Winter turf stress isn’t always visible. Even in frozen conditions, turf can lose moisture due to wind and dry air - long before symptoms appear in spring. Checking your moisture levels can help prevent desiccation later. #turfRad

The distribution uniformity of the irrigation system is an important consideration, but improving moisture uniformity in the soil is what matters most for turf health and playability 👇

Extremely hot and humid weather has many golf courses under serious stress right now. You may notice some temporary changes in playing conditions as superintendents adjust maintenance to help the grass stay as healthy as possible 👇

@BPHTurf Made this portable version years ago. Three different ACME sizes to accommodate different sized heads. Would tap in with a hose and can use a station master with some leads to test electrically as well

Anyone got an example of an irrigation head testing station along with any tips/tricks? We have an insane amount of old irrigation parts, and we need to start systematically testing what is good, what is repairable, and what needs to be tossed to the trash.

Another Stormy Day 💻 HRRR Model Radar Simulation Non to 11 PM ⛈️ Focus After 3 PM in the risk zone. Some cells may form and stall near the Bay between Baltimore and Annapolis. Then the rain will shift to the Eastern Shore and Beaches in the evening and at night.

Reducing irrigated turf acreage is a great way for golf courses to save water and other resources, but it’s more complicated than just turning off some sprinklers. Successful turf reduction requires careful planning, clear goals, and a lot of patience 👇

Extreme heat and humidity will be affecting a big part of the U.S. this week and golf course superintendents will be playing defense. If you notice some temporary changes in playing conditions, remember that slow grass is better than no grass!

Had to hop off the sprayer this morning and take a closer look at these new @TurfMend seedling emerging. 💪🏻

@Shanny1976 @LinksGems The slope of the green itself isn’t too severe. You will need to be dialed with your approach shot though. Very challenging on a windy day

@LinksGems The slope on the green in that first pic looks wild!

I love 9 hole courses. I love Macdonald/Raynor courses. I love courses on the water. So obviously I love Gibson Island Club, a rolling 9-hole C.B. Macdonald / Seth Raynor design draped across a little finger of land between the Chesapeake Bay and the Magothy River. This might be one of the most serene spots anywhere for a game. Hard to imagine that this was originally planned as a 36-hole layout.
