“Everyone I discussed this with said it would be near impossible to make a name for myself."

Andrew Green has done just that with projects at Inverness, Scioto, Congressional, East Lake and now solo designs at Firefly and Kawonu.

@Ruthieturf Tried getting to Ruthie via your link but it doesn’t work. FYI.

I’m curious how superintendents are (or aren’t) using AI to improve their workflow. I’m not sure I’ve ever had zero emails in my inbox but that’s where I am thanks to AI. Daily updates of my email and calendar. Automation of projects. It’s pretty unreal.

How are you using it?

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

@ChrisRainbolt Why?

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

@AdamIkamas @bot Interesting. I don’t use grok or Muse but I hear they’re decent. I stick with GPT and Claude.

@JSutton_turf How is it for presentations? I haven’t found it useful for that but haven’t tried in a while.

@BradBurgess @vibecodejoe Happy to help if you need it.

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

@PatJonesTweets Which part is BS?

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

@mindfulsuper_ I would have thought you would use it extensively to free up your time!

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

@vibecodejoe I don’t use the auto reply to drafts. Tried that but didn’t like it. Still have zero messages in my email. I use an agent that builds a weekly summary that I get daily and that helps me clear my inbox and stay on top of things.

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

I do this every year but like to revisit it. Does anyone have a winter (short ~6 weeks) internship for some of my students who might be looking? I have a few interested.

@emcaseyturf @ArkansasTurf Was that a boar or javelina? Amazing photo!

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

Ok Turf Twitter I’m asking for your help. Updating the 2nd Ed of the Turfgrass Management Book and need some images (landscape orientation). If you have some of these and are willing to allow us to use YOUR images (with credit of course) please DM me for email address.

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

@charliefultz40 Let me know if you run into any issues. I’m not an android user so testing it was done on a computer and not in a native phone app!

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

Thanks to our beta testers who helped us work out the links to bring Turfpath to Google Play. Looking forward to seeing our Android users in the app.

[Turfpath @turfpath]

The moment has finally arrived for our Android users. The TurfPath App is now available in Google Play. Download it for free today.

@AllynPaul @Milorganite Have you tried the combination? Amazing stuff. 😂

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

@bentgrassdoctor Thanks Rich. I ended up getting some already so I’m set. If you have an autonomous bunker rake photo I could still use that!

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

Still looking for the following images if you care to assist!

1) large animal damage in greens (moose or similar)
2) feral hogs digging turf
3) Doveweed
4) heads up display of construction equipment
5) software screenshot (Greenkeeper, Deacon, etc)
6) autonomous bunker rake

@GreensPro You had zero backbone?

[John Kaminski, Ph.D. @iTweetTurf]

Synthetic but still a field. Go BC.
