Thank you to everyone who helped make our #GCSAA #TheFirstGreen field trip a success today. I appreciate all of you! @Perfsportsturf @GCSAA_GL @Turficidal @ShawnSmithHFS @MSUTurf Rob Pylar, Ben Beard, Benjamin Prowse, Sarah Hudson. The kids had a great time and learned a lot!

Mother Nature wasn't always cooperative but Jason Riley and his staff at Willoughby Golf Club have worked their magic following the renovation last summer. #GolfRenovation #FloridaGolf

Having a great team is a vital part of any successful project and few team members are as important as the golf course superintendent and their crew. Many thanks to Richard Garcia and his staff for all their hard work.

Despite last summer's weather challenges, superintendent Rich Garcia and the Troon management team have the Club at Fiddler’s Creek in excellent condition following an extensive Hills • Forrest • Smith renovation. #FiddlersCreek #GolfCourseRenovation #troongolf

WSU adds home-and-home series with Toledo. First game is for the 2025 season: October 25th in Pullman. Then the Cougars will play @ Toledo in 2031.

First meeting between the two teams.

@BtotheBlair @ToledoWBB Wish I was there to catch the game with you! Enjoy your time walking down memory lane.

[Shawn Smith, ASGCA @ShawnSmithHFS]

@BtotheBlair @chris_barry_wsu Yes, please!

[Shawn Smith, ASGCA @ShawnSmithHFS]

@ZBTurf411 Just my preference but I like the appearance of the older better.

@BAJohnson_GOLF Congratulations Brandon!

[Shawn Smith, ASGCA @ShawnSmithHFS]

@bibbles32 Devine pruning looks good!

[Shawn Smith, ASGCA @ShawnSmithHFS]

@CougCollective @M_Chaz M_Chaz IS the voice of the Cougs! I’m transported ‘back home’ every time I hear his call.

[Shawn Smith, ASGCA @ShawnSmithHFS]

@ccdetroitGCS Looks like fun! Good luck with your event Ross.

@lucy_rohden I was playing golf in Montana at Thanksgiving ‘92 and made the turn to see the Snowbowl (‘92 Apple Cup) on tv and thought, “where is that?”. Little did I know at the time, but less than a year later, I would begin four of the best years of my life when I started classes at Wazzu!

[Shawn Smith, ASGCA @ShawnSmithHFS]

@KVanValkenburg @GenoBonnalie Very true!

[Shawn Smith, ASGCA @ShawnSmithHFS]

@bibbles32 @johncanzanobft I think it’ll happen. UW won’t beat the Ducks twice. Assuming they even make it past Wazzu today. GO COUGS!!
