If there’s one cultural practice I could do more of, it would be fairway topdressing! Hole 16 #oldefloridagolfclub 1,760,000 pounds of 329 sieve sand spread on 25 acres of fairways and the short-game facility over the last two days #swfl #golfcoursesuperintendent #officeviews

At #oldefloridagolfclub, Ms. Emmy remains the sole momma Screech Owl, tending to her trio of puffballs in the box between holes 10 and 18. Miss Julia's two fledglings departed weeks ago, and Ms. Sleepy's pair left just this week.

In the Southwest Florida #golf industry, how do you say it’s summer, without saying “it’s summer”? @ShipSticks at #oldefloridagolfclub It has been a terrific winter season, but the migration has begun! #turfsky

Before you know it, they're flying solo! Julia's two little ones are on the verge of becoming fledglings. Julia was hunting, so I snuck in for a visit #ScreechOwl #GCSAA #FGCSA #AudubonInternational #NativeBirdBoxes
