This...

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

When people can’t control you, they’ll create a story about you. Take a deep breath and remember who you are. Put no energy into false narratives. The truth will one day speak for itself.

@GrabskiTurf Two mandatory shifts. Everyone is scheduled to work 1 weekend shift.
Sun-Thurs or Tues-Sat.
Weekends are choice of mow-n-go or full 8 hour shift. Anyone can take any time off they want if they find someone to trade shifts with of equal skill. We train everyone to be equal skill.

@Cheekster82 I felt it. It came after a loud boom. I thought something or someone had hit our house.

@stats_feed A general lack of the most basic level of geography. I am from Canada and live in British Columbia, and no, I do not know Bob Smith from Toronto.

@garvoca73 @mowlikeachamp I think you'd change your mind if you had 60,000 rounds between March and November with -20 and no snow cover in winter

[Greg Austin @bcgolfsuper]

@NUCLRGOLF No. It's harmless. The repair is no different than any other common divot.

@stats_feed I lost a loved one to glioblastoma. Her slow deterioration and eventual passing was devastating at the time, and it hasn't gotten any easier since. All terminal illnesses that cause pain and suffering to the individual and subsequent trauma to loved ones are the worst kind.

@OfficialTourPro If only all greenkeepers had a nickel for every time a tour pro thought they had a better way of doing golf things

@BPHTurf Clean flagsticks, cups, and flags.
I buy the dollar store generic version of magic eraser to keep them looking clean and fresh on the course for very little cost.

@TurfStu My 1st assistant superintendent job. I played hockey with a superintendent. He told me he didn't have an assistant. I told him my start date. He laughed. I showed up that day, and he told me he didn't think I was serious. I just kept showing up. Told him my salary. Hired myself.

@slimschadey161 @Sunset_Ranch It was a gorgeous day out there today. I'm glad you enjoyed it and played well.

[Greg Austin @bcgolfsuper]

PSA
Greens are slow out there today

[Greg Austin @bcgolfsuper]

@slimschadey161 Yes! Today was supposed to be opening day. 4 days later, and it's still hanging on in the more shaded sections and north facing slopes of the course. These pics were taken today.

[Greg Austin @bcgolfsuper]

Opening day in 4 days

@turfcurlicenerd You'll just get in the way of all the dog walkers, Nick
