Gary doesnt get replaced. Gary is going run a 3 staff crew and start leading small projects for course improvements. All those projects that are ‘wait til fall’.. Gary is on it. Doom and gloom is bs. Guys like Gary are being wasted by sitting on a mower
What Gary brings to the industry can’t be duplicated.
But Gary is being replaced.
Blame autonomous mowers.
From the publisher’s pen: What happens without Gary?

About 300 hrs on this gaskets and grommets. Old gasket was almost hard as a rock. #preventativemaintenance
Pure cutting units brought to you by data. I can adjust numbers when I have them. Coupled with GS3 ball, I dont need to guess, I can see it. #datawins
I don't think I need that much data. I'm not sure what all of that data would infer that I didn't already have an inclination of. Just because you can quantify something doesn't mean it has actual value. #wastedeffort Onward!
This is why maintenance reels are so important. Mine are within .010 of in service reels. Quick roller swap. Bedknife survived with .004 off the top and .003 off the face. Fwy unit was back cutting in about 25-30 minutes

Make no mistake Quality of Cut(QoC) and Quality of Aftercut(QoA)
are visual metrics that drive the optimization of true and smooth metrics concerning ball roll. Lower numbers mean better roll. Trust me these are fantastic readings and they happen regularly at my favorite muni, Clearwater County Club. – at Siesta Key, FL
Biggest takeaway here is that the number doesnt mean a damn thing. CU setup matters. Geometry is key. Dont know who needs to hear this, but stop chasing a magical HOC number…..It is irrelevant

All is quiet on the @TOURChamp front.
“Mechanico Kev” has been killing it on the @SIPGrinders1902, keeping everything cylindrical, parallel, & uniform.
It’s showing on the course in the form of uniform eHOC’s & buttery smooth playing surfaces.
Approaches are at greens heights.

Little of everything going on here… @JohnDeere @FinchTurf cutting units, @JPsTurf front roller brackets, @CeresTurf_Inc bedknife and last but not least @Crocs . All here at @OverbrookGC
Touch up grinds with the 6000 are like a cheat code. Literally taking .001 off the top and front face @MikeRollinsSIP @SIPGrinders1902
The most uniform of wear patterns brought to you by the most precise and efficient grinder combo. @SIPGrinders1902 @MikeRollinsSIP

Make that 8 @USGA tournaments on an Ideal 50 from @SIPGrinders1902 at Saucon Valley!
Congrats to the crew on another great tournament for the US Jr Am!
@USGAGrnSection
🎥 Saucon Valley CC has hosted 7 @USGA championships w/ this Ideal 50, designed in 1948!
They still use it, TO THIS DAY!
They recently purchased 2 sets of @SIPGrinders1902 reel & bedknife grinders to update their 2 shops.
Really, REALLY awesome couple of days w/ the guys!

Sunday shenanigans to finish up touchup grinds on our fairway units
It’s easier and quicker to maintain your reels within a good quality of cut range,than having to bring them back from too far gone.
Speed, consistency, and ease of use all make possible by @SIPGrinders1902 💪
