Bentgrass etiolation ramping up as the GP starts to climb — finally!

Hydraulic leak on the 5510 today—a tiny pinhole in the test nipple lost a ton of fluid! Crazy how much 2000psi can push through a small hole.

Every season, I dive into Practical Greenkeeping for fresh perspective. This time, I couldn’t miss the Jim Arthur’s obsession with seaweed & kelp! Anyone else hooked on this classic?

Rats… no matter how much you try to stay on top of wilt watch you always mix spots.

Beautiful day on the golf course, but another reel casualty!

I know it’s not Friday but this guy is frisky #fairyring

When your spray grade urea is littered with actual rocks lol 😂

Well this isn’t the wear pattern one wants to see..

Still picking up ABW adults in the Pittsburgh region

Hey @byHennen did you install these robots at Cedarbrook? The future is here! @synatek

Pythium prevention going out tonight!

Note to self don’t let anthracnose take hold if you have limited bent 😂 time to seed in some new bent though.

Smoke rings commonly associated with brown patch starting to show its head on the wet areas.

Anyone else’s favorite job on the course is spraying?

Anthracnose pressure remains extremely high due to wet weather and reduced turf GP. Collars are showing significant damage, and Poa annua is being severely affected. Our strategy is to promote bentgrass growth, which is less susceptible, and manage the disease with N.

The current weather hasn’t been conducive to much growth with a #TurfGvX sitting at 0.62 and the poa is showing some minor anthracnose pressure.

I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to grind this one out. This is the worst reel I’ve seen — she exploded. On a positive note finally fixed our sidewinder - bad fuel shut off solenoid. We’ve had a bad run of luck at the course.

Weekly update on the #centbent lawn! @MtnView_Seeds I had to raise the HOC due to a huge jump in growth.
