@mdvessely Can’t wait to get back there and see this. This course is a living textbook for architecture.

@jminceyturf A lot of autonomy in equipment now and more coming. Bright Autonomy was the most impressive software and upward potential for a bolt on product.

@TurfTank @USGA That’s a special place! Glad you got to play it!

@jminceyturf Battery technology. Now we can work with similar efficiency as gas outside noise ordinance windows. This also translates to robotic mowers in rough. All of this trickles down through operating freeing up labor hours and resources affecting multiple line items.

@5FootNothinPod Alabama had how many yards of rushing in the SEC Chamionship? Texas Tech and BYU looked good? Nick Sabin suggested maybe the most common sense approach. Teams ranked 1-12 make up the playoffs 🤷‍♂️

@HorsemenPod Ha my bad!

@sbrittonturf @RainBirdCorp @EwingOutdoor @ChrisGranger10 Shortest run time that thing has seen since install.

@Kroisov16 @mdvessely @z_blair @CulverAcademies @CulverAcadGolf It’s an 11 out of 10. Played there in high school. Pure golf. Went back a few years ago and it’s even better!

@SfurlongScott Think I know where some of that came from.

[Matt Sumpter @BellaRojo]

True

Somebody just couldn’t wait for their day!

@sbrittonturf @GreenGCA I’m sure this all outfalls to the creek heading south.

The wrong trees in the wrong places on a golf course can have serious and sometimes unexpected consequences. This story about some very stubborn black locust trees is a great example 👇

@USGAGrnSection How about technology integration. Last time I checked Android and Apple don’t limit data integration and sharing. Why is our industry stuck in silos? Why doesn’t the USGA lead this charge of data sharing and integration. Not a money issue either when you have APIs.

@GCIMagazineGuy It’s in the numbers. There is a benefit to the little mowers in rough right now. Just need to run the numbers course to course. Fuel, parts, and quantity of cuts are game changers. We even built a test solar charger for one of these to offset infrastructure costs.
