Wet bunker sand can be tough to play out of, and some bunkers seem to stay wetter than others. Let’s look at why that happens, and what courses can (and can’t) do about it 👇

[Branden Houghtaling @BROOKVILLEsuper]

Happy 4th of July.

If you see someone from the maintenance staff hand watering the green you're playing to, try to be patient and understand that they're working hard to help the greens get through tough summer weather 👇

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

Extremely hot and humid weather has many golf courses under serious stress right now. You may notice some temporary changes in playing conditions as superintendents adjust maintenance to help the grass stay as healthy as possible 👇

[Richard Hurley, PhD @bentgrassdoctor]

THE BEST ADVICE FOR...
New greens, accept it will take two to three years for a bentgrass surface to mature.
DO NOT rush to open & pressure your super to chase green speeds -- forget 12 ft the first year.
Making a smooth surface -- light frequent sand topdress before mowing low.

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

Converting playing surfaces to grasses that use less water or tolerate drought better can help conserve resources and improve playing conditions, but successful turf conversion requires investment and patience 👇

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

There's a lot more to good greens than just speed 👇

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

Sometimes golfers and broadcasters talk about green speeds increasing throughout the day, but the data usually tells a different story 👇

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

A quick transition from a cool and rainy spring to hot summer weather means many courses in the Northeast have weaker turf than they’d like. Exercising caution now will help courses stay in good shape through the months ahead 👇

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

Golfers are ready to play when they arrive at a course, but the course wouldn’t be ready for them without a lot of hard work that starts long before the first tee time 👇

[Branden Houghtaling @BROOKVILLEsuper]

Happy 4th of July.

There's a huge difference in the way us pros calculate #yardages versus the way amateurs do it. Watch to learn more. 👇

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

Reducing irrigated turf acreage is a great way for golf courses to save water and other resources, but it’s more complicated than just turning off some sprinklers. Successful turf reduction requires careful planning, clear goals, and a lot of patience 👇
