Why does all this matter? Because golf’s impact is massive: 💰 $102B annual economic impact 👷 Nearly 2 million U.S. jobs supported ❤️ $6B raised for charities each year 🌎 A growing commitment to sustainability

Golf generated $102 billion in economic impact last year — powered by travel, tournaments, and everyday play. In 2024 alone, Americans took 26 million #golf trips. #GolfDrivesBusiness #NationalGolfDay

Looks like some pythium foliar blight appearing on some fairway areas. Small black spots that appear to be expanding with an abundance of mycelium. Spray out tomorrow on fairway surfaces. @UConnTurfpath

I have to commend the @MaineFalmouth for removing old language and inserting #GolfBMPs to exempt golf from their proposed pesticide ban. Maine golf BMPs are comprehensive science based practices to achieve playability standards, while promoting sound environmental practices.

Replying to @BrianDaigneau
Assistants and turf interns, please pay attention, because this eventually happens at every facility. Get familiar with basic mechanics and daily mower set up. It will pay off some day for sure. In my first year, my mechanic was in a motorcycle accident on Labor Day.

If John’s pun is the push you needed to start using the Smith-Kerns Dollar Spot Model but you’re unsure where to begin…I would recommend this site: tdl.wisc.edu/dollar-spot-mod…
Dollar spot flair up this morning in an otherwise slow DS year so far. Years like this accentuate the value of Smith Kerns model to time sprays when needed. Model predictions of outbreaks this season have been…spot on.
