Great picture of turf variety separation. This morning showed me how easy it is (at least for me) during the season to underestimate how much poa there is on a green. Checking greens even during winter is beneficial.

Happy New Years! Hope everyone has a great 2022 and the game of golf continues to grow. Recapturing original bunker edges after 22 years of edging and sloughing from sand build up.

Removing 32 small to medium size trees surrounding the renovated tee on #17. This tee has a more dense turfgrass stand than the prior 22 years after grading and seeding to new bentgrass cultivar. Taking action in December and January to keep it that way in July and August.

Topdressing greens and tees to "winterize" bentgrass and protect plant crowns.

Cool to see where original bunker grade and shape was versus how it is today after 22 years of bunker shots and sand build-up. 13" difference between the two.

Seven renovated bunkers and counting this offeason (Better Billy Bunker). All bunkers that had standing water during rain events have now been renovated. White sand + Tall Fescue sod surrounds= beautiful framework for a golf hole.

Several drainage daylights installed vertically during construction. Impossible to build enough water pressure during rain event for the drain to work properly. Dug a hole and cut pipe 40 feet before original daylight. A 10 min waterfall ensued 😎😎

Converting a fairway bunker from a rough surround to a bentgrass surround. Any tips for maintenance? I assume hand watering edges and hand raking are paramount to longevity.

Great time today meeting up with @mikewill0786 and checking off Hominy Hill - number 127 on the quest - on this cool and windy day. Considered the best of the Monmouth County publics, this one lives up to the hype!

What a day. I hadn't broken 80 since #GreaverCupIII. Finished my day with a +5 76 at Colts Neck Golf Club. Went even par 34 on the back with two bogeys and an eagle. It's semi-private so I have to think about whether it counts on the quest, but go play it! $40 to walk!

Pictures taken 25 days post seeding. New tees are really coming nicely. However, selective tree removal and root pruning will be critical to ensure summer survival.

4 days post seeding. I think that’s a new PR. Tees stripped by CNGC, graded by American golf grading. Declaration seed knobby tired in with Anderson’s starter fert, plant food physiology gypsum and 0-0-23, and endo roots applied. Site one moisture mulch sprinkled. Very happy.

The monmouth shore area got lucky and we only received 2". Any supers out there west and north of us need any help (manpower, trash pumps, etc.) let me know. Hope everyone is safe and courses did not get hit by any flooding/tornados. Good luck today

Heavy morning dew really does make for some excellent photo ops. Aesthetics!

Bailing hay all week. Blowers have been working overtime to clear the clippings. But I'll tell you what, I have never seen these fairways look more green and dense as they do right now. Silver linings.
