I had a great time at the Solheim Cup today. Hats off to Scott Furlong and the agronomy team preparing RTJ for the biggest stage in women’s golf! It was also great to catch up with Niall Richardson of Bernardus & John Miller of LPGA. Planning for 2026 is well underway!

In my soil biology lab we were sampling soils and I swear I was playing “whack-a-mole.” PSA send your “future turfies” to the arcade! 😂😂 (Ps I’m posting so John Kaminski, Ph.D. doesn’t “clean me out” and because this made my lab partner and I laugh for a good 2 minutes.)

Kennedy Ellis Michael Fidanza John Kaminski, Ph.D. I often use a bulb planter for samples, very handy, 3 inch diameter and 4 inch depth (this might keep me Kaminski class😏)

Back 9 data, tee and cup team.

Very impressed with the conditions Scott Furlong and his team have produced for the The Solheim Cup considering the challenging summer weather! The atmosphere for this event is so good and I can’t wait to work with the team at Bernardus for Solheim Cup 2026!
