Hello World

Welcome to the Aldarra Turf Department!  The goal of this site is to improve your understanding of what we do as a department to maintain a golf course while providing the desired conditions.  The idea of a blog has been in my head for some time and I am excited to put that vision to digital paper.
  
This site increases the ability to share my passion for Aldarra Golf Club and turfgrass science.  Superintendents around the world use blogs to share a similar passion with golfers and colleagues.  Delivering a behind the scenes look at the inner-workings of a golf course.  Here are a few blogs I have found very interesting.

The home of golf, St. Andrews Golf Links provides regular updates of projects that are being completed in preparation for The Open Championship this summer.
The use of social media has brought Superintendents around the world closer together and provided a forum to share ideas and information.  Superintendent Adam Garr of Plum Hollow Country Club in Southfield, Michigan has taken blogging one step further and allowed his GoPro to do all the talking.

Locally, one of my favorite blogs to follow is Tacoma Country and Golf Club.  Joel Kachmarek and his staff undertook a golf course renovation, restoring the course to its classic roots.  Regular blog posts helped give members and people like me a birds eye view of the project.

I hope you enjoy the links provided and look for more posts soon.
