@TravisShaddox kicking off the #DeepSouthTurfExpo dispelling turf marketing fallacies.
Hurricane Isaias kept me from going to Gainesville to see @FLRECturf seminar. But I watched from afar with my feet up and eating a hot fudge sundae!

Why fill out the @GCSAA Golf Course Environmental Profile Nutrient and Pest Management survey? We need current data to best support the BMPs used to advocate for the profession & golf industry and to track changes for the future.

Hey @GulfCoastGCSA superintendents - I'm trying to gauge interest in conducting a Golf Course BMP Certification Workshop. Comes with FL Pesticide CEUs = 7; AL Pesticide = 10 POINTS; GCSAA = 0.75 POINTS. Let me know if you are interested: surveymonkey.com/r/ZBPZSV8
Today we planted the first of three sites of the @FGCSA funded study looking at “Low Input Grasses and Forbs for Sustainable Management of Out-of-Play Areas on Florida Golf Courses.” @FLRECturf @mcecisq @UFIFASWFREC @UFTurfTeam
Washing native soil from @TifTufBermuda plugs and planting onto lysimeters. Prepping to evaluate a novel surfactant’s impact on nutrient leaching and water use. Appreciate Matt, a @DoDSkillBridge program participant, that connects service members to career opportunities.
