To most of my peers in the NY Metropolitan Area, Happy Opening Day! Have a great 2024 Season everyone! #fairview #greenwich #openingday #golflife #turflife

Some pics of the week. The sunrise photo was taken by one of the best walk mower operators in the country, Martin Godoy. He’s been part of the team for sixteen years already! #fairview #greenwich #openingweek #sunrise #golf #golfcoursephotography #golflife #turflife

Covers are off and we are open for the season. Our goal was to allow the covers to get the fall aeration healed as much as possible. The last two springs were not conducive to early growth or healing. Definitely made all the difference!! #fairview #springgolf @TurfgrassDS

I’m so grateful for @NufarmUSTurf extreme generosity and investment to a sustainable industry future, @GCSAA for their partnership and continuous events, and to all my mentors who have supported me along this journey.

#NationalGolfDay marked my graduation of the @NufarmUSTurf #EXCELLeadership program. Incredible opportunities accelerating personal and professional development and community involvement skills. I’ve learned patience, effective leadership, and openness to grow at every new day.

@HullPhullw Thanks Peter to you and your team. A timely event with great information. Maximizing system efficiency is an extremely valuable and useful skill!

[Jim Pavonetti, CGCS @jim_pav]

Not bad for the middle of January. The back of this green was completely surrounded by evergreens until recently. Such a nice view now from the second to the fourth hole. #airmovement #fullsun #additionbysubtraction @TurfgrassDS @DavidOatis @USGAGrnSection @FrankSpeaks3

An atmosphere that makes for a high-quality learning experience and lifestyle!

A few highlights from June. It was a great month. ⛳️ 🇺🇸

[Jim Pavonetti, CGCS @jim_pav]

IPM and BMP’s in action. This is a video of our cages filled with barley straw. The barley naturally suppresses algae blooms. No chemicals needed! @NYS_GolfBMP @AudubonIntl @EcoTurfConsult @GCSAA @MetGCSA @CAGCS1929 @oncourseturf @turfnet @FrankSpeaks3 #ipm #bmp #waterfeatures
