Didn't know NDVI had a store 🤔 $turfcomedy

a "companion" roller that follows you while you change holes and set tees. If someone can deliver a fleet of autonomous rollers for $100k, the current players will be nothing more than a Wikipedia entry.

[Bjarni hannesson @BHannesson]

Food for thought: I just got a $50k quote for a new electric roller. It’s a simple machine with a lithium battery, yet it costs more than two electric UVs (like the Club Car Carryall 500) that use the exact same battery tech.

The industry leaders are at risk of becoming the "Kodak" of turf equipment. They are pricing themselves out of the market while ignoring the real game-changer: Autonomy.
Imagine a fleet of small, autonomous rollers hitting the greens at 3 AM as the dew settles, or

Did we manage to go through 8 versions of @RainBirdCorp Stratus without noticing that 270°arc Precip. Rate was calculated wrong?!! 🤔 It multiplies 360° arc with 1.5, should be 1.33! In this video it should be 20.23, but Stratus calculates 22.82!!! Cirus Pro uses correct formula

How classic Iceland this is: I manage one of the courses they played, and my wife is the GM if the Hotel they staied at 🤣 "stunning championship condition" they say. You should come and try it

Cakes in the satellite boxes have kept us ant/bug free and most importantly snake free this year.

@garvoca73 What this refers to is if you have ample amounts of an element in the soil, and no deficiency observable you don't need to apply that element. E.g. potassium, although important to the plant, at 100 ppm in the soil, there is no evidence to support application of K.

Been spending the last 13 seasons applying only what the grass needs, no more, no less. Stop spending money and effort on stuff you don't need #mlsn

@DerekSheffield At the cost of pretty shi*** weather 😂🥶 warmest July in decades we just had, averaging at 12.5°C / 54.5°F

[Bjarni hannesson @BHannesson]

I refuse to take part in grow-ins unless there are robots. So good on the first cuts.

[Bjarni hannesson @BHannesson]

@DerekSheffield We have been trying Kress this year. So badly I want to change just a few, but important things in the app. But the machine does for most parts well. Not as good on our frost heaved areas as the single disk models, but that's not a big problem for most.

[Bjarni hannesson @BHannesson]

@DerekSheffield Fairway irrigation is not such a frequent event over here. Just a brain fart 🤓 but the odds one would be directly on top of the sprinkler when it started are pretty low, but never zero! Especially since we only have a centerline, so just 8 sprinklers on the entire fairway.

[Bjarni hannesson @BHannesson]

@DerekSheffield I'm still not convinced on the larger types like Ceora. I think the new 580 is a sweet spot. It uses relatively cheap parts and and is super light. But my 550s have been pretty low maintenance.

[Bjarni hannesson @BHannesson]

@DerekSheffield I've only had the Ceora on a trial. But have heard of what you are describing. I've mostly used the 550's, and the older 450. Been very lucky with them, apart from one that was on top of a sprinkler when it popped and spun on top of it for solid 9 min. It's no longer with us 😄

[Bjarni hannesson @BHannesson]

July starts with a nice low of 2.1°C. Club championship today plus full tee times until 9PM. Only 9 people with a booke tee time after that. Just another summers day in Iceland :)

[GreenKeeper @GreenKeeperApp]

Are wetting agents useful on native soil fairway turf? Yes, especially if they contain creeping bentgrass.

Love having a great crew and great facilities so they can kick back after a good week, play pool and darts with beers and pizzas. Lives good
