@Rickerrocks1 Did you even get winter?

It’s been a mild winter, so we’re getting a month head start on stripping and preparing damaged turf from last season. If the warm weather continues we could get sod early March. Bunker has added root extraction duties to his arsenal; he never gets tired.

Where am I taking #Chokepoints on @KIRONewsradio now? Think Murphy’s Law.

@PPAR64 Could also go with something like this. rogerssprayers.com/sprayer-canada…

Going to be using a Spray Hawk for a couple new practice greens we will not be able to use our Toro 5800. Need ideas for a portable tank I will need to get to go along with this. Any help is appreciated.

Researchers @OregonState looked at the impact of different kinds of traffic on turf during frost and freezing conditions. Some of the findings may surprise you! 👉bit.ly/44wr9BQ

Courses in the Northwest saw increased damage from summer patch this year. Prevention should be a priority going forward – especially if changing weather patterns continue favoring disease development. 👉bit.ly/3XwChul

@wayofftheres Contact Baldwin, they usually will send you what you need to repair. Done it in several situations. baldwinhardware.com/support/contact

If you follow, basically my whole kitchen add on is falling apart. It’s on about year 20 of a super fancy build out, which means service life is ending. Door knob latch sticking, go google up the internals to repair… Who the fuck pays $2000 for a door knob?!?!?

@TurfgrassZealot I get asked for a landscaper recommendation daily, agree on your points. I think years ago this work was done by kids like me that just went around mowing/weeding in neighborhoods.

So with knee surgery, I haven’t been able to keep up with my limited landscape at my house. So I’ve reached out to some local lawn care people. Observations 1. They usually don’t call or text back. 2. The ones that do are obscenely expensive. 3. I don’t want to tell them what I do for a living. I just want it done. 4. I should start a Mow, Blow and Go service. $$$

@MannyFreshTurf Manny, I am so excited to see you back!👊🏼

Today I’m back and doing what I love doing growing grass. Almost losing my life last year due to a severe stroke. Being in the hospital I cried several times thinking that I was done and my career as a superintendent was over but the turf gods had other plans for me. Today I would like to thank all my turf brothers who help me and my family financially .im blessed to belong to the turf community also I’ll like to thank my friend and mentor @RyanWGor for being there with his emotional support also @turfnet and @WWGCSA for go found me support and @TurfeeJake for helping my assistant while I was absent. Thank you lord for this second opportunity.

Happy Earth Day! 🌍 Whether you manage a golf course, craft stunning landscapes or grow vibrant ornamentals - your green spaces do more than look good. They reduce stress, lift moods and promote relaxation. Thank you for your commitment to preserving our planet's beauty.
