A memorable week uncovering @FrostyGolfPA first days of existence going from a farm to a golf course! Incredible being able to learn about your clubs beginning in real time viewing these long forgotten projector slides!

Frosty Valley history revealed! Thanks to the family of former superintendent Carl Swartzlander, we were given some original pictures of Frosty Valley CC being constructed by architects William and David Gordon. We look forward to sharing more with our members soon! #1961

Great 3-days at the PSU Golf Turf Conference! Excited to be back at the Nittany Lion Inn with excellent speakers & talks! Great job @iTweetTurf and @PSUTurf for reestablishing a quality event! Catching up with many colleagues & meeting new ones was very rewarding

Finally made it to my first @GCSAA Chapter Delegates meeting representing @PoconoTurfgrass Mechanical issues on the way out led to unfortunately missing day 1, so of course held our own meeting w/ Kevin (Ontario) and Greg (Maine) at the nearest rest area! Learned a lot on Day 2

How in the world do I have a teenager already?! This week through all my disbelief, JP has turned into a young man. 🥹 Proud of him in so many ways. Hard to believe. #teenager

Thanks to the team of @Dan51926654 Jon, Charlie and Carson 20 greens aerified, shoveled, blowed, 65 tons of topdressing sand, and rolled Monday-Wed. Turned around and cleaned up 19 acres of fairways Thur & Fri. And fit in a sand pro demo on all bunkers
Unbelievable effort!!

Few things more visually satisfying than dragging in dry topdressing sand on aerified greens!

Despite a hot, humid, and dry stretch of weather, the greens renovation project is beginning to take shape. We are well on our way to establish high quality putting surfaces. #007XL @bentgrassdoctor @SDeBolt_DLFPS #DLFSeed

Update….we received 0.35” of rain last night💪🏻 works like a charm!
English
The best-known way a superintendent can cause it to rain at their course is to start a project they don’t want rain while completing. Therefore, I have started to install our shock pad for artificial turf matting at our driving range. Your move Mother Nature….

@Jchapin_7 @Dan51926654 @FoldsofHonor Haha, closer to 8:30. but yes the gnats were bad and I needed to focus so a cigar was the only solution

Tried something new/fun this morning with @Dan51926654 in preparation for the @FoldsofHonor tournament. Not bad for our first run at a big one!

Just a month and a half ago I was rooting hard for @McIlroyRory at Augusta, now I’m showing my kids his interview, him smashing a tee & what @Wyndham_Clark did to Oakmont’s locker room & showing them how not to act. I understand the pressures of sport but be better.

Rory McIlroy just have an emotive press conference explaining why he has been skipping media; “It's more a frustration with you guys.” This is worth a watch.

Super proud of @ciccarelli_luke! Not only has he worked to become a valuable asset at Oakmont CC, but challenged himself years ago to do something big in the Turf grass industry and is living it out this week.
Great time visiting him and seeing him in action! Oakmont is pristine

We pushed through the rain and had a great @TheFirstGreen event today. 176 5th-graders visited @FrostyGolfPA & enjoyed learning from some amazing industry professionals and volunteers. Thanks to @PoconoTurfgrass and their many sponsors for the support!

@GolfSuper2GM @TurfWarrior4Him @TheFirstGreen @GCSAA Love that wall! Hosting my second one next week.
English
Pretty soon I might need a bigger office wall! I added 2 more flags over the last two weeks and introduced another 220 students to #STEAM learning on the links. If you haven’t hosted a @TheFirstGreen event I highly recommend it. @GCSAA has resources available to help you along the way.
