Dormant grass may look dead, but it’s very much alive!

It can also play great, but we as golfers need to do our part to protect it. @USGAGrnSection

A recent visit to the city golf courses in Vancouver, B.C., highlighted some outstanding research into their environmental value 👇

As winter approaches, Poa annua is making a comeback in the Southeast. Unpredictable weather, resistance issues, and a range of other factors are making control increasingly challenging, but there are steps you can take to keep those little clumps to a minimum 👇

What's the deal with apprenticeship programs in golf course maintenance? Dig into some Qs and get some As from workforce leader @TBloom_golf, @PLKoch2 of UW-Madison and the school's TAP, and @Letot_Carson of the @USGA's GAP: https://t.co/S7OSoEt9Zd

New genetics under drought, all bermudagrasses with increased drought tolerance (Eg. Tahoma 31, Tiftuf, Coachella, and others) vs the surrounding 328, after 10 days of no water.

Good day for creating new Green Section education content!

A lot of golf courses are doing renovations this fall. Here's what golfers can expect during and after the project 👇

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

Successfully managing the tree population on a golf course often includes planting, not just removing. “Back-planting” is when you establish desired trees in an area where removals are coming so the transition to fewer trees is less jarring to golfers 👇

Cool look at the GS3 in action at the #USMidAm

[USGA @USGA]

Stress isn't something only golfers feel! @USGAGrnSection

[USGA Green Section @USGAGrnSection]

Maintaining proper sand depth optimizes the playability and functionality of your bunkers, but it’s hard finding time to check depths regularly. This strategy makes it easy 👇

[Jordan Booth @JordanCBooth]

So impressed by the research poster presentations by our 2024 @usga GAP cohort at the @GolfHallofFame today. These 4 posters were great, but all were impressive.

Like many golf courses in New England, Newport CC has its fair share of rock above and below the surface. Rocky terrain can make for great golf, but it also complicates things for the maintenance team #USSeniorOpen

[USGA @USGA]

It's been a HOT 🥵 start to the summer.

Chances are you've seen greens being hand-watered while you play.

Here's why 👇 @USGAGrnSection
