From the MTGCSA President
Summers in the South
It’s that time of year again. The Masters! The time of year where every golfer sits in front of the TV for four days and starts wondering “Why can’t my local course look like that”. Ahh the questions are endless. I assume every superintendents flattered to be compared to one of the most heavily manicured properties on earth but know that it’s not possible. I personally could care less about greens speed. I’m just trying to get my greens healthy enough to survive the marathon of bentgrass summers in the south. Every summer seems to be hotter and longer. I hate to say it but the old days of getting your greens to Sept. 1st are long gone. As always, we are at the mercy of the ever-changing Tennessee weather. I wish everyone the best of luck and hope to see you all at our meetings throughout the year.
