Whether here in Spain or anywhere in the world, understanding true water needs and salinity/nutrition influence on Turf performance is vital to presenting acceptable conditions for the game. It's always a pleasure learning from Supers around the globe and lending a helping hand!

Please help our Hawaiian Golf and sports industry peers and friends. If you can donate a $150 Costco card, it will surely help. Send to HGCSA, PO Box 355, Wailuku HI 96793, USA. THANK YOU!

ALL, I had the opportunity to tour Maui last week after the HGCSA event in Honolulu. Humbled is an understatement. The association is trying to collect as many Costco gift cards of $150 or more to directly help the 40+ Supers, staff and families greatly impacted by the fire.

Most golf course superintendents are accustomed to doing their work without much fanfare, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try to show our appreciation for all they do. Here's 3 ways to #ThankASuper #ThankAGreenkeeper

At POGO we'd like to help this #HGCSA effort and assist those in need. It may not sound like much, but a $150 Costco card will go a VERY LONG way. If you, staff or friends can help, direct message us here or call me at 215-908-0044 and we'll provide instructions to donate. TY!

Just making sure my 'always a student' attitude as Dr's Watschke and Turgeon told me I have stays alive and true. Mike, THANK YOU and Dr Macolino for all your guidance. What's yet to come is still the most exciting part of all of this!

I have a newfound respect for @Oprah. She is helping families and all who lost anything in Lahaina. I can't possibly list a fraction of her actions but felt compelled to share her beautiful humanity and spirit as Hawaiians mend from such a terrible loss. Let's all help! Carmen

The Turf industry never ceases to amaze me, and Supers and there staff are phenomenal. Check out this staff made wiffle ball field created for the kids at Makena on Maui. Amazing! It's beautiful to see how the community are all pulling together on the Islands after their loss. :)
