Bring our the 2021 golf season. @JimAgerGolf is freshly mowed and open for business. Excited for what this season will bring.

It's still hard to believe the greens at @JimAgerGolf were brought from the edge of collapse to championship condition with sound cultural practices and a lot of sand. Great work by the @LNKCityGolf maintenance staff & @unlagrohort turf students. Read: greenkeeper.blog/2020/09/15/…

So proud of the Turf Program students and staff for their work at @JimAgerGolf this week. All the tees have been tilled, graded, laid out and seeded in only four days. Seeing the irrigation run marked the end of the construction. Now our students will handle the grow-in phase.

Happy Monday from @JimAgerGolf. The Turf and Landscape Management program is resurfacing the tees to bentgrass. Over a half-dozen students have signed up to help manage the course this fall. Great experiential learning offered at @unlagrohort. @UNL_CASNR

Another benefit of GPS sprayers: precision glyphosate applications. @JTroyTurf is killing the tees at Ager GC this morning. They will be rebuilt and seeded to bentgrass with out turf students to this fall. Another great learning opportunity for our students.

Played @JimAgerGolf this morning. @JTroyTurf has the place looking great; firm and fast too. Some isolated and typical summer pests. Golfers probably don't even notice them: pythium root rot and crabgrass starting in a couple spot. Never ending fox damage is the most annoying.

We've graduated from collecting clippings on research greens to the @JimAgerGolf fairways. PhD student @remoteTurf is collecting ground truthing the data from our ACS430 crop sensor. Measuring growth across the entire fairway on a grid. – at Lincoln, NE

A big thanks to the generous turfgrass industry for supporting the Apprentice Superintendent program at Ager Golf Course. We recently received donations for @Aquatrols, @NufarmUSTurf and @SyngentaTurf.
