Great turnout for our first turfgrass spring field day! Got chased early by the weather, but got most of the tour done and had some great interaction with our industry!!

I have officially completed my greenskeeper internship at Shoreacres Golf Club in Lake Bluff, Illinois! I gained lots of valuable knowledge this summer, and I would like to thanks the management, other interns, and crew for that. I can't wait to see what the school year beholds!

It’s been a great summer interning with Tyler!
Internship visit #14 was to Shoreacres Club in Chicago (one of my favorites) where Arron McCurdy was mentoring my student Tyler Kregel. That place is so good and worth a visit. #Biarritz

This past Friday, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the Arkansas State FFA Turfgrass CDE. It was great to see many High School Students from the State of Arkansas be able to compete in such a well run competition!
