@bergingolf Angles create great strategy on both....wow!

Transformation of the Week- 5. Listening to Dean Martin sing Baby It’s Cold Outside reminds that it’s probably a little frosty in MN at the moment. We had many perfect days working on the 12th at Minnesota Valley, our Short. The green expanded right and a thumbprint was added.

@gdeters_turf Worthington CC 1971 - three of us age 12 hand digging the front right greenside bunker on the 15th hole, supervised by Superintendent Otto Pongratz…….a wonderful man

@willstace We purchase it from Greenjacket. They're 9 foot wide rolls. Two + rolls will cover an average sized greenjacket. Foam is important.

[Mike Brower @BruiserBrower]

Green covers are off at Minnesota Valley CC. Impermeable Greenjacket and foam covers did a nice job again.

[Mike Brower @BruiserBrower]

@golfkid2880 Yes Brandon, any time. Due to our recent renovation, we have five used but excellent Greenjackets to sell.

[Mike Brower @BruiserBrower]

I agree with our renovation Golf Course Architect, Bill Bergin. MVCC par threes offer great character and variety.

[Bill Bergin, ASGCA @bergingolf]

Best Set of Par 3’s? What course has a great set of par 3’s? Pick from one you’ve played, designed, or built. I’ll open with Minnesota Valley where we feature a Redan, a Biarritz and a Short.

Nobody does more for charity than Golf!

[Mike Brower @BruiserBrower]

Yuck! Must postpone the opener here a Minnesota Valley.

[Mike Brower @BruiserBrower]

@Hawkeye24 Poa/bent mix, percentages vary from site to site, Raynor push-ups

[Mike Brower @BruiserBrower]

Minnesota Valley 14th green uncovering April 5, two layer cover system, foam insulation below impermeable Greenjacket, looking good!
