Men’s Closing Day 2026 in the books. Thank you Crew for doing a great job!

[John Colo @colo326]

It feels great to take care of the @FRCCAgronomy crew who work very hard to take care of the golf course every day. Thanks to @BRANDT_co , GRIGG and LegacyTurfGroup for the year-long rebate to help secure the @Columbia1938 boots. #reinvest #thankyoustaff ⛳️☀️👍🏻

@TonyTurf Haven’t done it on light topdressing but always do it in summertime for heavy topdressing. Blow to center - parallel lines and then split the middle like the Red Sea - outwards. Fills the holes nearly 100%. And a cleaner surface once done.

We are tickled pink to (officially) announce that Moe Robinson (@turfmow) is joining the TurfNet team on a p/t contract basis to add her energy, enthusiasm and experience as on-camera host of various podcasts, presentations and webinars... and probably a bunch of stuff we haven't thought of yet. We are pumped! #newera @TurfgrassZealot

[jimcolo @jimcolo24]

Thank you @NobleTurf for the opportunity. Bag em’

[John Colo @colo326]

John Reitman and TurfNet, I enjoyed your visit to FRCC. Me and many others face life challenges on and off the golf course. Thank you Peter, John and Jon for your continued support. It means a lot.

@Baroness_USA @DavcoTurf What used to take 13 guys with shovels & plug pushers now only requires 5. Redirect labor to accomplish more in the same time period. Find a way to acquire these units. Your staff will appreciate it! #noshovelrequired

[John Colo @colo326]

It’s a good day to have the Golden Golf Services team at FRCC to plant 5,000 summer annual flowers from Brad’s Bedding today! And on command, a little rain falling 👍🏻⛳️

[John Colo @colo326]

Todd, great to have you visit to do your first spring soil sampling. Good start! Nice roots!

[John Colo @colo326]

@RYT1604 I called. Just 18”

[John Colo @colo326]

Is there a 16” sod cutter available? We have the Ryan 18” sod cutter but it’s 2” wider than sod coming in from sod farm. Thank you
