CHECK THIS OUT: Man of Moeller Dean Gaier ‘07 will be piloting one of the two KC-135's flying over Great American Ballpark during the National Anthem on Opening Day. Dean told me this afternoon they will be honoring the Hit King Pete Rose by using the call signs "Hustle 1" and Hustle 4" for the jets on the radio. #TraditionLivesHere #GoBigMoe #GoRedLegs

Had the pleasure of visiting @Maritzamows earlier this week in St. Louis! Not only does she do an outstanding job at what she does, she is one of the kindest people I’ve met in this industry. I can’t thank her enough for all of the generosity and support she’s shown me!

2/7/25. Modified cart rule today. Holes 4,12,14&18 are path only. Other holes are 90 but please stay away from low lying areas and drains. We are wet. Reminder par 3’s are supposed to be path only as well.

The faster your green speeds are, the less interesting your greens can (generally) be. There used to be an artistry in golf greens, that was made possible by the green speeds of yesteryear. Greens < 11 can be fantastic & challenging whereas > 13 not so much. #GolfHistory

An ideal 2025 for golf includes: · More talented people pursuing turf as a second career · Pittsburgh experiencing a dry June and Oakmont playing as Henry Fownes intended · Owners making serious tech investments · Golf being the 1, 2 and 3 capital improvement focus at every club

Brandon, thank you and all the Turfgrass professors around the country for giving us the information and research we need to make our courses great! Without your research (which we need more funding) we are lost.

As we wind down #ThankASuper Day, we encourage you to take a moment on any given day — not just today — to express your gratitude to your golf course superintendent.

Unrepaired ball marks on greens always seem worse at private clubs than public courses. While there tends to be more ball marks on greens at public courses, it's a little more understandable. But at a private course, members should be better. It's their course. There is less play. They want it pristine. Course superintendents work hard for their members, but the members have to do their part. Fix your ball mark.

@UTturfgrass intern Trent Bibee gets some seat time mowing greens this morning after he did course setup. Trent will get experience in all facets of golf course maintenance this summer in a fast paced operation doing close to or over 200 rounds per day. @UTTurfWeeds @UTTurfPath

Lou, you do understand that a lot of facilities the 2 entities you are addressing have no decision in this right? Green committees control this a lot of the time. So: “Dear Green/Golf Committees and boards,”
