Project manager/superintendent Ben Taylor gave me a tour of Hogan Gully GC. It's a new course being constructed near Queenstown. We met in 2023 when he was supt at The Hills GC about 2 miles from Hogan Gully
The NZSTI changed my life and research direction in 2004. Agronomist David Howard helped me back then. He still consults to much of NZ's South Island. @NZSTI@DelVal

Today we performance tested the @DVUAggies baseball field. We evaluated the field surfaces from the player's perspective. Field managers need to know what athletes want from the surfaces. @FieldExperts@DelVal
