Before most people start their day, they're already on the golf course.
Every detail makes a difference.
The game depends on the people who care for the turf.
Happy #ThankASuper Day!

The Guelph Turfgrass Institute is closed today for Labour Day. Today, we recognize and celebrate the hard work of everyone who helps create and maintain the turfgrass surfaces where we play, compete, and gather. Thank you to all of the turf managers across the country!

Safety first! Usually we would NOT tuck coveralls into boots, but we are testing out a different type of disposable suit which includes attached "booties". The verdict? It feels like being entirely contained in a ziplock bag. Safe? Yes! Comfortable? Well...they're safe 🤷

@J_J_Dempsey The new handheld devices are nice and light! Our “historic” device was bigger than a weed whacker! 😆

How green is that grass? 🤔
The GreenSeeker is a device we use to measure "greenness" (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). It emits pulses of red and near-infrared light onto the canopy and measures the reflected wavelength to calculate chlorophyll absorption.
