Fun little tradition I have with anyone making a hole-in-one on the course. They get the actual flag off the green and a handwritten card put in their locker. It goes a long way.

Using the Turf Trainers to work in some topdressing on tees this afternoon. We have the reels off- just using the trainers for this. So much better than brushing.

This past winter, we decided to clear coat the tee markers after we painted them. It’s August 25th today and they are still perfect. We used Lawson’s High Solids Clear Coat spray over Rustoleum brushed on. I had my doubts, but the staff was right and it was a great idea that was

Water temps have been over 55 degrees, which means it’s time to add some barley straw to the pond inlets. This is a great way to save some money, reduce chemical inputs, and keep your ponds algae-free.

Still getting used to the TurfRad sensors. We have ours mounted to a cart with outriggers similar to a trolling set up for fishing. Conserving water is a very high priority for us, as we have very limited supply here.

First experience with a Graden. Pretty cool machine, once you get the hang of it. We are working towards firming up tee surfaces with multiple core aerations and heavy topdressings. This just seemed to be the next step.

Covers are off and we are open for the season. Our goal was to allow the covers to get the fall aeration healed as much as possible. The last two springs were not conducive to early growth or healing. Definitely made all the difference!!

Demoing the Topchanger this morning with
@STECEquip
. Really neat machine with a lot of potential! Wet sand is fine, plus you can even run it without sand similar to a Hydroject in the upright position. I think this could be great for greens, approaches, tees, and landing areas.
