@Stripesmut Their total revenue is $1.1 million. Total expenses $1.3. This is all they can afford. Likely not a lot of pressure or expectations going on over there.

@NOHIOGOLF It doesn’t matter what kind of tee you use, but it belongs in your pocket, your golf bag or the trash can. Broken tees are trash. Throwing them in the rough is littering. Tees are like any other disposable thing we use, cans, wrappers, cups, bags. They all belong in the trash.

@WeArePalace Any chance you are saving that June 15th date to stop in Cleveland on your way from Toronto to Columbus?

THAT THING WAS SOARING.

@SandbaggerOG @mdvessely I recently had to crack through 10inch clay to remove tree roots. 4 separate clogs. Maybe 18 feet of pipe. I paid $328 per 10ft stick of 10” sdr. If I wanted to replace the hole line it would have cost almost 20k in pipe alone.

The Great ET Pothole has spoken,

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

Recent heavy rains have superintendents in many areas playing catch-up. Just because the rain has stopped doesn't mean conditions will immediately return to normal. It will take some time for courses to dry out and for routine maintenance to resume.

@EvaHehemann @AnJrew_Sucks @FinnPrescott @fucctweeting @ThreeDog4746 @BatmanXL777 @jason81_tx @GovAbbott https://t.co/cbJobyiyEy It’s actually more like 6%. 94% of covid deaths have at least 1 comorbidity involved. I think the wording of the tweet is a little off, covid is certainly a contributing factor but in many cases not the main cause.

New turf job: 1st Assistant Superintendent: Lakewood Country Club is Ohio's only A.W. Tillinghast design. The assistant will be an integral part of helping LCC return to its historic roots. With a new pump house installed in 2021 and an ongoing tree… https://t.co/Fr4G8xzTZf

@TurfEnto I thought the 2 day priority mail I received in 21 days was bad. That is nearly comical.

@CGCGreenkeeper @CGC1929 What buckets are those? Really cool.

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

Late fall is a great time for course improvement projects and installing drainage is high on the priority list for many courses. Here a few tips that may surprise you:👉https://t.co/t9zbLzKln8

Golf carts can cause serious damage to the course if they are not used properly. Driving with care, following cart rules, and using a little common sense will reduce the negative impacts of cart traffic.

Beyond the immediate issue of playability, washed-out bunkers can provide months of headaches for golf course operators.

Here are some sustainable ways to tackle this issue.

[Aaron Archambault @aarondavida]

@drewharvie 150+ years old. Tillinghast, a man who wrote extensively about trees in course design,
where they belong and where they don’t. He builds a green complex incorporating a tree on his most notable golf course. In 97 years of WF. Maybe 10 idiots have suggested removal of the Elm.

@iTweetTurf @SamsungTV @SamsungSupport I got a x950 series Sony recently in 65” and I think it’s incredible. Sound bar is a must though, the speakers don’t cut it when the picture is that good.

@CrockerPark Being a resident of CP and not being able to get home. Not notifying residents via text or email that they won’t be able to get home is even more annoying.
