2013. Obama is asked why his administration is deporting so many people and separating families.
Obama: I'm the President, not the Emperor. I have to enforce the law even if it is tragic and heartbreaking.
๐จBREAKING: Black โleadersโ & media silent on DaCara Thompson.๐จ
19yo Black woman raped, murdered, thrown off bridge by illegal immigrant Hugo Hernandez-Mendez.
Zero outrage from BLM, Jasmine Crockett, Joy Reid, NAACP, The View.
But Renee Good (white woman) shot by ICE? National headlines, vigils, press conferences from Ilhan Omar & Bennie Thompson.
Black lives matterโฆ unless the killer is illegal & it hurts the narrative?
Say her name: **DaCara Thompson.**
Stop the selective hypocrisy. Justice for ALL victims. ๐บ๐ธ

Dealing with fallen leaves is a focus for many courses right now. While golfers are worried about losing balls, superintendents are looking to avoid agronomic issues ๐
If golfers knew the price tag that comes with different levels of course maintenance, would they view things differently? Researchers looked into that question and some of the results might surprise you ๐
Dormant grass can be a great playing surface, but it also requires special care because it can't recover from wear and damage until better growing conditions return ๐
If frost delay season hasn't arrived at your favorite course yet, it's coming soon. Here's a few things to know about these frustrating but important delays ๐
The maintenance staff tries to avoid working near play as much as possible, but golfers will almost inevitably cross paths with course maintenance during a round. Hereโs a few reasons why ๐
Dear pro sports leagues: Looking forward to seeing you release statements & send condolences to Charlie Kirkโs family after he was murdered for his political beliefs. You know - kinda like you did when career criminal George Floyd died. @NFL@NBA@WNBA@MLB@NHL
Appreciate the @Yankees for holding a moment of silence tonight.
Every golf course loses grass sometimes, especially during a tough summer like this one. When it happens, golfers often wonder why, so letโs take a look at some of the usual suspects ๐
Winter injury on warm-season turf (like this zoysiagrass) is widespread in the transition zone. Weather hasn't been ideal for recovery and affected courses are trying to decide between waiting for turf to heal or resodding damaged areas. Unfortunately, there's no easy answer.
Turf growth and recovery have been lagging in many parts of the Southeast this spring. There are some things superintendents can do to manage the effects of slower spring growth, but patience is still needed ๐
Winter injury has been observed on bermudagrass throughout the mid-Atlantic states. Be patient and assess the need for regrassing damaged areas after a few more weeks of growing weather ๐
Damaging a green out of anger, or for any other reason, shows a serious lack of respect for all the work that goes into preparing that surface and it creates problems for the staff and other golfers ๐
