As I was mowing the field today, I wondered how many turf managers can say they’ve mowed a golf course green and a baseball field on the same day? Checked that box today🙋‍♂️✅

The turf gods accepted me in the industry and I got my first “welcome to the biz, kid” moment today. Caught a curb and put one of our workman’s in the lake. Not to undermine the severity of the situation, but thankfully all I have is a damaged ego and a good story to tell.

I’ve learned Spring Training groundskeeping isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’s allowed me to really dial in my skills dragging & watering skins. Mess up? No big deal, there’s always another field to prep here!
