Today is a good day!

[Scott White @mowlikeachamp]

More road and bridge footings poured today. Second mow on greens, more fairway rolling and a greens spray too. The clock is ticking!

First cuts of 2025, big year for UCC 81 days to go

[Scott White @mowlikeachamp]

It’s a huge difference maker in attaching talent but also getting the conditioning right. The days of working out of a “Barn” are over if you truly want to do it right.

[Brandon Razo, CGCS @razobe01]

Bunkers getting put back together the past couple days. We still have some sand to add to some bunkers, and some liner to replace. Off to a good start though!

First mow of the year! Looks to be a great week to get things wanting to grow a little.

One of the tenets of our department is “positivity”, and it’s often said that “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” In light of that notion, sweet gum trees have beautiful color in the fall, and are wonderful for a park or wooded setting. 🤐✌️🫡

Busy day at the UCC. Rolling all bentgrass surfaces has started, irrigation up and running, watered all tees and greens and started installing sprinkler yardages. Let’s Go!

[boxley @oxley4]

Another day, another burn. We also help out burning off natives in a few of our parks. One of the old guys could t take the heat. It was on the list to be removed anyways. 🔥

[Brandon Razo, CGCS @razobe01]

First cut yesterday on greens…looking good coming out of a tough winter.

[Scott White @mowlikeachamp]

Less than 90 days to opening! It’s a nice peaceful morning inside the grill room and although it looks cold and brown out there, we are excited to get the course reopened.

Second half of the parking lot started today, ready to get it buttoned up this spring.

[Scott White @mowlikeachamp]

Turfees!!!!! What are the best turning board options in the industry? We have made homemade plastic lattice, but is there something better we should be using?

[CIGCSA @CIGCSA]

Working on a presentation for the @CIGCSA today. As I sort pictures, I’m still amazed at what took place in 2024. A lot of emotions resurfaced thinking about the grind, challenges, rewards and people. Thankful for all our partners in the project. It’s good to have friends
