After months of weekly phone calls, endless coordination, and plenty of last-minute planning, its time to spend the evening enjoying a Nationals game with an outstanding group of fellow team captains. Thank to @MidAtlGCSAA and @ESAGCS for volunteering!
Great day at the Old Soldiers’ Home Golf Course for the National Golf Day service project.

Every golf course loses grass sometimes, especially during a tough summer like this one. When it happens, golfers often wonder why, so let’s take a look at some of the usual suspects 👇
Tree shade doesn’t just diminish the amount of light reaching the turf, it also reduces the quality of light that gets through. This is one more reason to prioritize tree management 👇
It's been a tough summer so far and plenty of courses have areas of dead grass. Take advantage of any opportunities for recovery and think about improvements that could reduce the risk of problems in the future 👇
If you see someone from the maintenance staff hand watering the green you're playing to, try to be patient and understand that they're working hard to help the greens get through tough summer weather 👇
