And that’s a wrap for an insane fall tournament season! Saved the best for last with the 31st annual @BCJrInv that wrapped up yesterday. A lot of early mornings with 10 events in 7 weeks and our team absolutely crushed it!! Now on to winter project work!

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Dr. Bruce Martin, a legend in turfgrass pathology and a true friend to the Carolinas superintendent community. For more than 30 years, Dr. Martin advanced turfgrass research, diagnostics, and disease management at Clemson University, helping superintendents across the Carolinas and beyond. His dedication, knowledge, and kindness left a lasting mark on our industry. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and the many lives he impacted. His legacy will live on in the turf he helped grow.

Busy day for our team! Using the @wiedenmannusa Terra Rake on fairways/approaches followed by ⭕️ mowing at .350. On greens it’s topdressing, gypsum app, soil/pythium spray, irrigate, and venting with bayonet tines. Big thanks to @turfdoc_81 for letting us use his Terra Rake!

Extreme heat and humidity will be affecting a big part of the U.S. this week and golf course superintendents will be playing defense. If you notice some temporary changes in playing conditions, remember that slow grass is better than no grass!

“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” -George S. Patton Today we honor and thank all of those men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice.

Member-Guest last week and 4”+ of rain beforehand. Team did a phenomenal job getting the course prepped in some wet conditions! Early morning application yesterday on fairways with Fert+Primo Maxx+Precip wetting agent and another 0.50” afterwards. @SyngentaTurf @Aquatrols

Nice to have a busy maintenance Monday. Topdressing + brushing greens, dry cut in the PM, and the first ⭕️ of the year on fairways. Happy to see where things are with the up and down temps this spring!

Great to see the root growth on our new 6.5 month old 007XL Bentgrass greens, even experiencing one of the coldest winters we’ve had in the last 10 years. Excited to see the continued growth through the upcoming spring! @bentgrassdoctor

Had to say goodbye to our beloved Westie Riggs yesterday. Tough to let go after 14 wonderful years, but he loved his time on the golf course all the way to his last day. Hope you’re chasing those squirrels and golf carts on the other side of the rainbow bridge buddy!!! 😢

007XL Bentgrass at 12 weeks old. Getting better everyday! Happy to finally see some 🌧️ over the past couple of weeks. 10 day forecast shows our great fall weather finally moving toward winter. @bentgrassdoctor

Still a lot of work to do to get everything clean and trees removed, but outside of the muddy water it’s at least starting to look like a golf course again.

Thankful to have gotten through Helene with much less damage than many of our colleagues in the Upstate. 🙏 for all those affected in the Southeast. 2024 has definitely thrown us some curveballs!!!

Amazed to see the root depth on our 007XL greens. Seeded 3.5 weeks ago and mowed for the 2nd time earlier this week at 0.250” and getting another cut this afternoon. @bentgrassdoctor

First mow today (day 18) at 0.275” h.o.c. on our new 007XL greens. Looking forward to watching them continue to grow together over the coming months. Now we just need Mother Nature to provide a little rain! 🌧️

Our project on holes 14-16 is slowly coming to an end. Seeded our three new greens two weeks ago with 007XL Bentgrass and have seen great germination. Excited about new cart paths on those holes this week and remaining sod hitting the ground! #007XL @bentgrassdoctor

One of the special days of the year as the American flags make an appearance. Happy Independence Day, and may we always remember that this is the land of the free and home of the brave! 🇺🇸🎇

Our project is really starting to take shape now! #14 is almost completely finished and 16 green complex is ready for @CapillaryFlow. Shaping, grading, and irrigation installation has begun on #15 green and surrounds. We’re starting to see 💡 at the end of the tunnel!

Gonna be a fun day! At least greens received an app of @EnvuGolfUS Signature Xtra and @SyngentaTurf Daconil Action yesterday. Mother Nature has given us a challenging June so far! #WeNeedRain #DRY #WINDY #HOT
