I had my first question, this Fall, about frost delays. I would like to go on record - I DO NOT enjoy frost delays.
There is no scientific formula for when it will lift, it’s an educated guess, at best.
Thank you for your patience & understanding.
Please staff off the grass!

Spent a lot of time over the last week going through my Twitter following. Actually pretty exhausted.
Here’s how I went from following 11.7k to just 4.1k by manually looking at everyone’s feed and what I learned along the way.

Patience is the word!
It takes 20 weeks of growing weather from seeding a bent green to make a playable surface. That being said, it takes one to two years for a seeded bent green to reach its genetic maturity.
Courses that open early, too much play too fast may create setbacks.

It's disconcerting to learn how many superintendents are currently operating without assistants and have no short-term hope for filling their open positions.

If firm fairways are a priority at your course, minimizing cart traffic should be a priority as well 👇
I’m not sure I’ve seen triple digits on the weather station in the last 4 years, but this is the 3rd or 4th time this year.

Mid summer weather update. Today will be day 19 in the 90’s. We’ve had 38 days since 5/1 where the dew point hit over 70 & 12 days where it hit over 80. Rain since 5/1 is 9.67”. Total evapotranspiration, 13.51”. That’s a tough summer for the Met area let alone for just 1/2 of it.
We are having fun.
At Philadelphia, the average number of days per year with high temperatures at or above 95°F is 7. As of Tuesday, we've reached 8 days so far this year. #PAwx

Golf course maintenance in summer is a balancing act between providing the best possible playing conditions and protecting the course during challenging weather 👇
