Meloidogyne bachelor party. Non-nematologists may not get this one 😁

@LouStagner They’ve never let facts get in the way of what they’re going to do.

Mike Whan (CEO of the USGA):
"We are living in the low 190s [for ball speed]"
This year there's 34,081 measured tee shots with driver.
306 have a ball speed of 190+ mph.
Less than 1% of drives are 190+mph and Whan thinks we are living in the low 190s. Huh?
🤔🤔🤔🤔

@shanebacon Went 100-89 in my freshman HS tryout before I got decent. Then in a am tourney in college shot 83 with a 13 on a par 3. Huge respect to Dunlap. 💪🏼👊🏻
English
Dunlap shoots 90-71 … give me your wildest golf splits of your life (weird front nine/back nine, back to back scores, even consecutive hole, etc).
I played an AJGA qualifier in San Antonio once - went birdie-10-birdie on a three hole stretch.

@jminceyturf I had goals, but Dr. Dennis Shepard who was with Syngenta at the time shared something when I was considering a potential move, “Sometimes you have to know when luck is happening to you”. Sage advice.
English
Another QOTD: Is the success/career you’re having in the turf world something you planned and strategically set goals for early on in your career or did it just kind of happen along the way? And what were the goals you set early on that helped get you where you are today?
English
@UTTurfPath Some grass species and climates can be bad for that, while some produce very good cut. Divot dispersal can be a problem too. The triplex will still be strong, especially with automation option. But the larger mowers might become a thing of the past with dropping sales.
English
Food for thought: if these Trump tariffs are here to stay, will they be the death of 5+ gang mowers in golf? They are made of many parts that cross tariff lines and are already very expensive. Smaller auto mowers have very few parts and are getting cheaper fast. 🤔
English
Boom!! We are getting closer here too!

March Madness isn't just for basketball; it's also prime time for preventive apps for diseases like fairy ring, Pythium root dysfunction, and sting nematodes. It's easier to score layups now to get ahead than waiting for the Hail Mary threes in a curative comeback scenario!
English
@HarryLigule @jminceyturf And you don’t drag your assistant out there and ask “is it getting better?”
Which we both know they’re never saying no, I think it’s worse…😉🤣
English
@jminceyturf Take a picture of a problem area and don't go back to it for a week after your "corrective" measures. Staring at grass doesn't make it better.
English
Fellow turf professionals, What’s one agronomic practice you swear by that has made the biggest difference on your turf?

CHECK THIS OUT: Man of Moeller Dean Gaier ‘07 will be piloting one of the two KC-135's flying over Great American Ballpark during the National Anthem on Opening Day. Dean told me this afternoon they will be honoring the Hit King Pete Rose by using the call signs "Hustle 1" and Hustle 4" for the jets on the radio. #TraditionLivesHere #GoBigMoe #GoRedLegs

I see people all over social media raving about @Bucees and how you have to experience it to understand it.
This might not be a popular take; but after finally stopping at this one recently and trying it out, I'm not that impressed...

Dang. Life well lived. Gave me a bunch of ideas for work and playing this great game.
