What a great way to start the fall season!! I had 10 IP with 20 strikeouts and no earned runs. I had 15 AB, with a .667 batting average and an OPS of 1.656. I had 10 hits, 6 singles, 4 doubles, 3 BB and 2 SB. So excited to see what else this team can do! @Premier_Egenes #2028

“Making a great living as a superintendent is more of a mirage than an oasis. Eventually, there will be a shortage of quality individuals, which could help wages, but it needs to happen soon.” — Billy Lewis, #TurfheadsTakeOver 2021, golfcourseindustry.com/artic…

While agronomics may be the foundation, it's not what makes a great super. It's about leadership and motivating others. @TerryHillsMaint shares his definition of leadership and reminisces about a lesson learned at the biggest stage in this Short presented by @HarrellsLLC.

I couldn't agree more. A lot of factors go into green speeds and over the last month+ the weather hasn't been on our side. Better safe than sorry! – at Decatur, IL

Veteran superintendent on why he doesn't hesitate to limit mowing and other mechanical stresses on greens during a tough summer stretch: "I’d rather be yelled at for slow greens than fired for dead ones."

Summer is a great season for golf, but hot and humid weather can be hard on grass. Here's what to expect on the golf course during tough stretches of summer weather.

What To Expect When It's Hot and Humid on the Golf Course

Summer is a great season for golf, but hot and humid weather can be tough on grass. Superintendents use defensive maintenance practices to keep grass healthy until milder weather arrives.

70 rounds vs 120 vs 205 on 3 separate days this month. Controlling cart traffic around greens and tees does matter of high quality turf is desired at a cost substantially less then greens, tees and fairways.
