Hitting some practice shots on the golf course can be tempting, but the last thing most courses need right now is more divots and ball marks. Please save practice for the practice area 👇

I play golf with a guy sometimes at the club.
He fills every divot, his and others, fixes ball marks anywhere he sees them.
He’ll also pick trash from the bushes.
Sweet, kind, gentleman.
Also a billionaire.
Be that guy.

The USGA Moisture Meter instantly captures and uploads soil moisture, salinity, and temperature data to the DEACON management system where a color-coded pin map shows which areas are wet and dry. Make every drop count!

Hard sand is not the same as no sand!
The reasons behind firm bunker conditions can be more complicated than you might think.

For Golf Goodwill this week, we share one of the reasons it's always a beautiful day in Pinehurst.
One of the best people we know, and for many, the first face you see or voice you hear when you visit Pinehurst - the wonderful Larry Goins.
What's the best interaction you've had at Pinehurst? We'll share some favorites.

The golf course is destroyed,but I’m sure the bike path would be fine #midhumbergap

Seeding bent greens in Aug/Sept, expect 20 growing weeks to produce a playing surfaces. Expect two years for a new seeding to reach it's genetic potential. It is a big mistake to open with too much play too soon - first with a soft opening, limited play, members only. Trust me.

Golf course maintenance in summer is a balancing act between providing the best possible playing conditions and protecting the course during challenging weather 👇

A very sad day indeed.
Dr. Vargas left an indelible mark on our great industry and so many students and professionals he’s helped over the course of his legendary career.
Grateful to have called him a mentor and friend.
I’m sure more info will be coming out from MSU, but I just heard that Dr. Vargas passed today. Sad day for the world of turfgrass and plant pathology. #RIPDrVargas

Canadian national team member (and @WestonGCC member) Vanessa Borovilos wins the Dustin Johnson World Junior, one of the biggest junior events on the calendar. The future looks bright for her.

The @USGA announced today that Shinnecock Hills will host the 136th U.S. Open Championship in 2036.
This will be the 7th Open at Shinny after it also hosts in 2026, and it will be the second time ever (after Pinehurst in 2014) to host the Men’s and Women’s Open back-to-back.
Congrats to Shinnecock and its members.
The next open slot is in 2043. – at Southampton, NY
