Question for turf managers out there. On a number of occasions recently, i've had to use the services of a machine shop to build parts from scratch. Due to supply chain issues or lack of manufactures support. Our any of you having to resort to this?

UCR Turfgrass Research Facility…where old mowers come to die. Same day photo of two stranded in the field. Does anyone have something to donate that didn’t exist in the 1970’s when I started working on a golf course? @HilodesertGCSA @GCSA_Socal @SD_GCSA @gcsanc @GCSACC @SNGCSA – at Riverside, CA

Working on some unique sprayer configurations. The labor saved by PGR’s on bunker edges is worth using the product. Labor to spray theses areas by hand, offsets some of the labor savings the PGR’s provide. Only the first effort, we have a few configurations to try. #efficient

Boom………..pun intended! Found the best setup. What was 8 man hours by hand is now 3. Although rate is effected by modifications, I think it’s a more uniform application rate vs hand application around bunker edges. We will monitor growth and alter rate as needed.

Chief and I are at the 1st tee this morning. Handing out @USGAGrnSection GPS loggers to our members. This important data will help us plan future renovations and use are resources more efficiently. One more step in our goal of continuous improvement.

New tees added to allow for a more playable senior member blue - gold combo tee. Turned out nicely. Crew really knocked it out of the park!

Twitterless assistant Travis Garrison clearly has laid to much sod in the last two days. Finished off by sodding the floor board of his cart. 😂

It’s still early, but starting to see some color from our #monarchsintherough plots. Excited for our members to see how beautiful and beneficial these plots can be. Planted two more plots this week. #stewardship @AudubonIntl

Just WOW! Two weeks since I posted the last photos. More color everyday, I think we maybe gaining ground with our members. Had a member ask for some of our fine fescue & wild flower blend to plant at home! Winning over members little by little! Hopefully more plantings to come.

Don't miss out on this opportunity. It's one of the best events I have ever attended!
