  1. @jschrades thanks again. Who knows maybe you will get the #turfgrass bug and change your major.
  2. Arrived at Oregon State. Going to speak to the Turf management class today. GO BEAVS!!
  3. Built a sand bin with eco-blocks. This will help us save sand that was wasted when we did not have a bin. twitpic.com/9oiv2y
  4. The after picture of the lake work. We removed quite a but of material. twitpic.com/9oiulm
  5. Did some lake work today to remove some cattails. twitpic.com/9oiu9a
  6. We are doing some drainage holes in low lying areas today. via.me/-17qzqp2
  7. Spent all day chasing a communication break in our irrigation system. Finally all the clocks are communicating.
  8. @nccturf do you topdress first, then drag it all in and blow the duff at the end? The sand helps support all the traffic to reduce ruts.
  9. @nccturf we did 5/8" hole. After we rolled it didn't look like any of the holes were any smaller. I was skeptical at first.
  10. @ScottsTurfHog @gtshaffer @nccturf @hiawathaturf tried rolling after we punched but before topdressing and I was very impressed. Very smooth
  11. Our mechanic made a trailer for the procore. Talk about a time saver. via.me/-121ge0g
  12. Day one of aerification is done. We were able to get most of the front nine done today after the tournament. via.me/-121g074
  13. The new tree is in. via.me/-u9hi8e
  14. Going to spade in a Sequoia today on 12 We do not want to loose the integrity of the hole. via.me/-u2hulc
  15. Postponed aerification until next week. The weather forecast wad not looking favorable this week but next week looks better.
  16. Today if the start of the NW section PGA championship. It is a two day event. Immediately after we are aerifying the greens.
  17. It has been a busy sputtering so far. We are getting ready for the NW section PGA championship. Immediately after we start aerification.
  18. @ScottsTurfHog after aerifying? Do you roll before topdressing to firm them back up a little?
  19. @gtshaffer @hiawathaturf @ScottsTurfHog @nccturf I will have to make sure the sand can dry.
  20. @gtshaffer @hiawathaturf @ScottsTurfHog @nccturf does out pick any sand up with the plugs? It will be tough to dry the sand here in the NW.
