Had some vandalism last night at Sag.... problem for them is they let their parents garage door opener fall of their cart which they were using to do donuts in a fairway bunker. Time drive the neighborhood and see which door opens up.....

If you’re currently in the market for a new sod cutter I highly recommend the Blue Bird SC 550. Cuts like paper, easy depth changes, no rear wheel depressing sod, 4 wheel drive, multiple cutting speeds, and even has reverse!!!!

I say let's create our own tournament with @GCSAA ran by the actual Superintendent. Vendors sponsor the tournament as they do for others. We know the course, we know the grass, we know the rules, so let's do our tourney and all proceeds go to supporting our Vets. Who's in?

Getting the sprayers/nozzles calibrated before the 2019 season. A nice tool to have before you decide to just buy new nozzles because it's a new season. Goal is to have all nozzles within 10% +/- of target output. #golfcoursehacks #themoreyouknow
