@soonerniner80 Send my way, I am desperate here.. congrats on the rain, can't wait for that feeling, nothing better than real rain after severe drought..

[Todd Stephens, CGCS @TStephensCGCS]

Wow... it only seems like 39... probably got another 10 left..

[Todd Stephens, CGCS @TStephensCGCS]

@TZurybida Forecasters/forecasting has been as wrong as ever around Houston this year, never seen anything like it. Always plan and expect the opposite to happen especially if you are set up with or without irrigation in the plan.. #frustrating

2nd premerge app down. Dimension/Dismiss. Fairways looking $$ right now.. 35yr old Tifway 419...
@HarrellsLLC Also put out Atexzo all fwys couple weeks ago.. amazing cleanup of mole crickets, billbugs, mites, even keeps away armadillos and skunks! 😂 @Syngenta_Turf @SimplotTurf

Nice light backtrack verticut, topdress, fertilize today on our 35yr old Tifdwarf.. they've been needing some love as a few have been a little behind schedule this spring.. 10 done today, finish tomorrow.

@kclgill55 Looks great and crazy green! How did you treat your tees they look great!

[Todd Stephens, CGCS @TStephensCGCS]

Got out all first app course fertilizer this past week. This @SimplotTurf fertilizer been working well and forgiving as far as watering in timing.
Goal this year is an ⬆️ in overall fertility on tees, fairways, green surrounds..

Top photo 2/22/21, bottom photo 5 yrs later, 2/22/26.. Needless to say a lot quicker green up this year, but I like the dormant, off color of the rare colder winters here. A frost in the morning but sure will snap back quick.

[Todd Stephens, CGCS @TStephensCGCS]

@Steve1968 Yes. 419 Bermudagrass... 35 yrs old
