Matt's 13 year battle with brain cancer has come to an end. He died peacefully at home surrounded by family a short time ago. Please pray for healing for me, the kids, and our extended families.

Congrats to @VTTurfgrass colleague Sam Doak on retirement from @VTCals after 20+ yrs of teaching as a Senior Instructor in the Ag Technology program. I like this vintage picture of Sam because although his 'stache & hair have a touch more gray now, the smile is always present!

The @USGA has hired Jordan Booth as a @USGAGrnSection Southeast Region agronomist. Booth spent the past three years as a research associate with @VTTurfgrass. Booth joined the @VTTurfgrass team after a 10-year run as the superintendent at Willow Oaks (Virginia) Country Club.

Happy Brewers Opening Day everyone! Always one of my favorite days of the year. Can’t be in Milwaukee in person again with the Covid, but providing my support from home. Congrats to @ryan_woodley and @ZakPeterson9 and their staff for getting the field in great shape

Getting LOTS of reports of snow mold on untreated fairways and tees in the Milwaukee and Chicago areas. Treated areas appear mostly fine. These areas should fill in and recover on their own over time, not recommending any fungicide or seed at this time. Pics below from NW Chicago

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Tony Scozzafave.
Tony has been a part of the Admirals family for 50 seasons. He was a member of the first team in 1970 & scored the first goal in Ads history.
May he rest in peace. 💙

If it seems 2021 has been colder than 2020, it is because it is, by quite a bit. At least in mid-south.

Turfgrass Management students kicked off their fall laboratory sessions with a learning tour of @virginia_tech campus and the @VTTurfgrass #Turfgrass Research Center. Thanks to @VAturf & graduate student Emeline Daly for sharing your #research with our students 🙌

I've written over 50 musical parodies with turfgrass themes in the past few years. It was actually Mike Goatley's idea a few years back and I just took to it. This song started it all. This version was recorded in his basement. @VTTurfgrass

Take this survey (please RT for maximum exposure). The survey is being conducted for the .@ResistPoa project to investigate attitudes and actions related to the management of weeds, in U.S. turfgrass operations. #ResistPoa

Gray leaf spot has been hanging out in our tall fescue trials in Raleigh, NC for a few weeks now, but recent rains and heat/humidity have caused what almost seems like an overnight explosion. Be sure you know the difference between BP and GLS. When in doubt, send a sample.

Here’s a pic under the microscope from @TravisRRussell. Not much mycelium but some and water soaked leaves typical of this disease. – at State College, PA

Anyone seeing symptoms like this on Poa greens? Patch symptoms that are only impacting Poa and not touching bent. Hit me up if you have patches like this. PLS RT for maximum reach! – at State College, PA

Wild violet and ground ivy can be a pain in cool-season lawns. Treated plots at left of image show good herbicidal activity but not death from 3-way products, etc. Spike these w/ 1-2 pint triclopyr and up 2,4-D rate to 2 qt/A of 4 lb/gal equivalent. Beware turf phyto in 🔥🌞.

Good reminder for those managing tall fescue/Kentucky bluegrass blends. Dollar spot (KBG) left and brown patch (TF). This one burns a lot of folks around here left wondering why their “brown patch” apps aren’t working. ID is the first step in managing any pest. #themoreyouknow🌈
