USGA Turf Advisory Visit

Senior USGA Agronomist Jim Skorulski, And Green Committee Chair Dewey McNamara

Senior USGA Agronomist Jim Skorulski visited Silver Spring on Thursday August 17th and toured the course with Dewey McNamara and Property Manager Peter Rappoccio. The visit is a service the USGA Green Section provides to clubs that subscribe to The Green Section Turf grass Advisory Service. During the visit turf management programs are reviewed; future project are discussed, and a in depth analysis of current course conditions is provided. The visiting agronomists are a valuable resource for clubs. During each growing season they visit clubs throughout the Northeast and can provide information on what is working /or not working in all aspects of turf management. They are also in constant touch with turf research programs that are taking place throughout the country.
