We’ve entered June. The month with the most available light. If you are a golf course super in the NJ/NY/CT/PA area and you suffer shade problems, let me know. Would love to include your course in my survey of shade stress. Thank you to all the supers that have helped #turf #golf

As we start getting leaves in the tristate area, any NJ, NY, CT, or PA superintendents have any shaded bentgrass issues, I’d love to grab some measurements and include the numbers in my growing shade stress survey. #golf #turf

Bentgrass seeded 9/5 in shade is coming up very well. Will be maintained as a fairway.

It's that time of the year again. Any golf course superintendents suffering from shade issues on their creeping bentgrass in the tristate (NJ, NY, CT) area. Would love to get out and measure the light intensity to add to a growing survey of low light conditions. Thanks #turf

Severance had the opportunity to end perfectly. Mark and Gemma exit the door. Cut to black. Series done. What a shame

Wedding DJs cut off “I wanna dance with somebody” by Whitney Houston way too early every time. Let that ending play sheesh

Tomorrow we have the most daylight. Calling on any tri-state golf courses with shaded greens, tees,or fairways to let me come grab some light measurements in the coming days. Thanks. #turt #njturf

Any @GCSANJ1926 supers out there looking to get involved with some research and see how colonial bentgrass fairways hold up?
