Sierra Nevada GCSA at the Haggin Oaks Golf Expo

Just a quick post this morning before I get back to work.  We are busy this morning mowing, rolling, raking, setting new cups, and cleaning up after the wind.  I am working irrigation, putting a minute or two of water on the greens to help our mowers see their lines and provide a little lubrication (the wind has really dried things out).  I also have a stuck valve to contend with; clams are giving us some problems.

After a few hours at the course this morning, it's off to Haggin Oaks to work the Sierra Nevada Golf Course Superintendent Association booth. Try to stop by, here's the main web page: 2011 Haggin Oaks Golf Expo

We are there to promote the game of golf and the environmental benefits it provides.  This is a great opportunity to talk to a bunch of avid golfers with 25,000 expected to come through the gate.  Yesterday, we met golfers from throughout Northern California, most of whom play on the course managed by one of our superintendent members. 

We'll be giving away bags (the nicest ones I've seen at the show) to attendees that sign up to become a Green Golfer by taking the Audubon Pledge.  You'll commit to respecting environmentally sensitive areas, fixing you're ball marks, and filling divots, among many other items.  Every golfer should read this: The Audubon Green Golfer Pledge

Happy green golfing!!
