Silver Spring Club President Bette Spielman and USGA Senior Agronomist Jim Skorulski prepare to tour the course for Silver Spring's annual USGA Turf Advisory visit.
During this years tour, all the playing surfaces, and the programs we have in place for those areas, were examined for promoting and sustaining playability and plant health. Jim also took a close look at all the new construction areas from last fall focusing on root development and soil structure.
Other areas that were examined during the visit were our practice tee, tree management program, and the areas of proposed new construction for our future Master Plan work,
Jim travels throughout the Northeast during the growing season visiting over 100 courses, as well as being part of the USGA prep for all their championships. He is a valuable resource to tap with questions on turf research and plant health as well as golf design.
