So you want to be a superintendent? On call 24/7, no matter the weather it’s your fault, greens speeds, cart traffic, mentoring kids who don’t want to get up, motivating an entire crew daily. Getting to see the sun come up every day. Still the best job. Love it.

WOW, this is alarming & sad 😥
C'mon people (schools & cities) we can do better! #naturalgrass is safer, environmentally friendly, sustainable and cost effective.

It’s My Baby. Why are Groundskeepers so attached to their landscape? Here is one opinion. turfnet.com/blogs/entry/1577…’s-my-baby/ @turfnet @MoKanSTMA @gatewaystma @mccordgolf

Thank you to Brock and Derrick for having us out to touch up their infield and tracks. @Sgf_Cardinals @DuraEdge
Seasonal reminder to ANYONE working on irrigation boxes. Be sure to clear box with long stick and scout with flash. This #BlackWidow was on the inside lid today. No need to kill it IMHO, but CAUTION/RESPECT for sure! @FieldExperts @MoKanSTMA @gatewaystma @turfnet @irrigationassoc
This guy is good. #Grasscraft
Double wides on Junior high 80' field and ground level on 90' HS field. Love the big stripes too. #ballfieldchat

Okay, but why? Turf is only 5 years old?...
BOE authorizes replacement of football field turf and goal posts at Glendale High School. @ghsfalconflock
This field failed GMAX test (not enough give/cushioning). Field is 8 years old. What went wrong? Install? Maintenance regime (or lack of)? IMHO drainage is the differentiation between turf/real grass. All other aspects slant #RealGrass. Thoughts?
Very nice. #FrontLineHeroes
STMA member and @DukeU Grounds Superintendent, Scott Thompson and his team painted a 'Heroes Work Here' design on the lawn facing the Duke Medicine Pavilion in recognition of Duke Health's healthcare workers on the front line of the coronavirus response. 👏

Don’t know what you have until it’s gone. All our organizations (and individuals) should (likely do)!advocate for our industry.
We predicted this would happen 20 years ago. If more £ had been invested in grass pitches instead of artificial, maybe young people would see it as a sustainable career. Dedicated volunteers doing a wonderful job across the country, often with very little, just for the love of it

This #ThankfulThursday we are extra thankful for Blue Valley's amazing facilities and grounds crew for making sure our district grounds remain safe and well maintained during this unprecedented time. Thank you for all that you do!
