I talked to Logan Braun, Superintendent at
Rochester CC, MN.
In 2023 the greens & fairways were converted to 100% 007XL bentgrass.
Logan reported the savings on fungicides to control
dollar spot is impressive.
All courses that now have 007XL are using less fungicides for DS.

[Richard Hurley, PhD @bentgrassdoctor]

Where does grass seed come from?
If a bentgrass fairway was not cut, your previously manicured closed cut turf would grow to 24" high in spring, by June you would see seed heads develop, wind pollination (flowering) in late June, and a crop of seed ready for harvest in August.

[Richard Hurley, PhD @bentgrassdoctor]

Superintendents who are spending over $50,000 and up to $100,000 on fungicides -- year after year.

A total re-grassing of fairways and establishing 007XL bentgrass will offer the opportunity to save over 50% and up to 75% on fungicides to control Dollar Spot and Anthracnose.

Last weekend’s Charles Schwab Challenge, played at Colonial Country Club—revolutionized southern golf through bentgrass greens. That revolution continues w/ 007XL Creeping Bentgrass. A #SuperBent proven for performance at the highest level.

The weed-free period is critical in corn & soybean production. Early weed competition can reduce yield potential before visible symptoms appear. Keeping fields clean during this window helps protect yield and maximize crop performance. #Corn #Soybean #Agronomy #CropManagement

2026 research corn planting is underway on the home farm. Soon the planter will be heading across Southwestern Ontario, with more plots going in across Canada. Every packet is a different hybrid, & only the best after years of testing make it into a Horizons Seeds bag.

Choose grass seed that matches your climate and growing conditions. In northern and transition zones, cool-season grasses deliver rich color throughout the year, while warm-season grasses thrive in the heat and drought common in southern regions.

Entries are tested across multiple locations and years. Cultivars must meet or exceed the drought‑tolerance standard at all locations for at least two years to qualify.

Research has demonstrated that TWCA varieties require less water while still ensuring vibrant urban environments.

Spring excitement is real—but don’t rush planting 🌱

Wait until soil temps are near 10°C & rising for the best germination. Planting too early can lead to chilling injury and poor emergence.

Patience now = stronger crops later.

Water is an essential resource. Choosing water-efficient turfgrass is a simple, impactful way to conserve it and support resilient landscapes for generations to come.

The Turfgrass Water Conservation Alliance (TWCA) is committed to advancing water-smart landscapes everywhere they’re grown and maintained. TWCA-qualified turfgrasses are independently evaluated for their ability to use up to 40% less water, without sacrificing quality or performance.

St. Andrews Beach
2005 - Tom Doak & Mike Clayton
#18 in Australia
$85 USD

When Tom Doak said this was the course he wanted in his backyard, one could easily write it off as salesmanship of his work. (Understandable.)

But after playing it, I get it.

It’s the most natural course he’s ever designed. Most of the course was found in the land. Remove the old cover and bring in turf and the golf course was there, built by years of natural evolution.

The turf and conditions are incredible. It’s hard to explain how good the turf is in the region, the climate and soil is the best on earth. Made for bouncy golf, which is the best golf.

It’s very wide off the tee, but thanks to big natural contours where you land the ball matters. You can get lots of extra yardage or avoid a blind shot based on your drive placement.

The greens are big with fun slopes. The green exteriors are usually tight so you can putt or take a wood from off the green, plenty of options. You can play the ground game all day.

The bunker use is judicious. They are big and relevant, but avoidable. Generally the more you want to take them on, the better your next shot will be.

St Andrews Beach is simply one of the best public courses you can play and a value that is unmatched. If you head to Melbourne and don’t play here, you are missing out. It provides a great contrasting style to the famous courses of the sandbelt.

Get here!

When the Oregon sky put on a show with a lunar eclipse, our Bentgrass variety, Pure Eclipse, was growing quietly in the field below. Nature above and innovation on the ground, both shining in their own way.
