It took 5, yes 5, applications of Revolver, to get this damned bentgrass to finally start to die and allow the Bermuda to take over. And that was after the two Roundup applications in May.... WTH

Severe drought, cicada killers running amok on my greens, dwindling staff, and almost out of water.... Hello summer of 2024. #asskicked

Why we transitioned as many of the bent tees to bermuda the last two summers...and that's with a fungicide program and wetting agent applications.. #notenoughwater #inherited3inchthatch

#NoNin2024 update. Yes drought conditions, look at the rough behind the 18th green. But greens continue to do well thru 100 degrees temps and roots holding their own. Still only 1/10#N/M applied this year and that was back in March. "N" application next week with the PlanetAir.

My childhood favorite and still a favorite today!!!

Not on the Oscar level of Paul B. Hurst but my little video of our 13th green this morning.... I wish I could have gotten Morgan Freeman to narrate.

Last two months summed up right there.... #misseditbythatmuch

#NoNin2024 update. Still sitting at 1/10#N/M for the year and one of the worst prolonged droughts in our history. Greens holding on, with Lexicon, growth regulators, micros, liquid Ca and K applied on Monday. #kaizen Note the nice brown rough in the background...

Finally watching the bentgrass dying in this drought and letting the seeded bermudagrass RUN....

Drought buster... Thanks Debby

#NoNin2024 update... Debby came thru with 4.4" rain last week and the greens took all she had. Root depth is easily the best I've seen going into the dog days of summer. Verticut, topdress, soil amendments coming in about 10 days. No coring for the last two years and OM is down!

The great Jim Halpert, on the drought and challenges of growing grass in Virginia in 2024....

#NoNin2024 update. Mother Nature kindly gave us almost an inch of rain yesterday, just in time for our N release with the Planet Air. Still 1/10#N for the year. Next week heavy verticutt/ topdressing. No core aerification for two years now and we continue to get better. #kaizen

Ahhh yes. It's that time... Verticutt, topdress, amendments. Love our greens verticutter, modified by our former equipment tech to be even better. #kaizen

#NoNin2024 Brutal drought in VA this year, and the greens looked tired before we verticut and topdressed. Amendments went down as well but gonna go out with a shade less than a 1/10#N in liquid tomorrow AM. I think they need a little...

#NoNin2024 update... Be on the lookout for my live webinar that will be offered thru GCSAA in November on two years of No N. Honored to be chosen to present this much different approach to greens management. Paul B. Hurst I need Lyla for a guest spot, if she is available...

Recovery in motion... #kaizen

#NoNin2024 update. .18#N/M YTD. No more N planned. Greens mauled and lightly topdressed last week with amendments 0-0-7 plus minors) applied. Zipline, growth regs and foliar micros applied Monday. Happy with the results and 5 1/2" rain we've had since then...
