I love turfgrass, specifically Fescues

@petefrompitt @CamHeywardFan They also have highschool games played on it from what I’ve heard it’s a ton of traffic put in that field and with colder temperatures now that it’s fall the grass doesn’t grow and recover as quickly as it would normally.

Had a fantastic week volunteering for the PIF Championship at Centurion Club. I was able to gain some invaluable experience, and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to be apart of such an amazing team and help host such a high level event. @OSU_ATI_Turf @atiturfclub @MikeOKeeffe2

Great to have the @OhioFarmBureau school camp out last week -
Plenty of dust and fun for all talking turf!

[Ohio State ATI Turf @OSU_ATI_Turf]

Great to see @LucAutremont and @gunnarb71852 this week at Scioto CC where Bob Becker and Tristan Myers are putting them through their paces!

2 months into my greenskeeping internship overseas at @TheGroveHotel in Watford, England. It’s a stunning course and is really shining even through the drought. The course just glows, especially the fairways. As always Go Bucks! @atiturfclub @OSU_ATI_Turf @MikeOKeeffe2 @CFAES_OSU

@EtootheC @MarkKaboly Drainage, the middles the highest so the water runs to the edges keeping the field dry and playable

Graduating from college wasn’t on my mind 2 years ago, but the turf program changed my mind on things. I have so many people to thank for my success at ATI the past to years but I owe a huge thanks to all my professors and classmates that pushed me academically to succeed.
