The best part of cutting cups this morning was Barley trotting over to me for a kiss on every green⛳️🥰

Western US Technical Sales Manager @bernhardcompany • Find me (and Barley) on the course, on a trail, in the gym, or under my XJ. App State. NC-WI-AZ-?
- Come along with me on my carnage (I mean course) check this morning. What should be one of the most beautiful golf courses in the country is being destroyed by herds of javelina. If anyone has a contact in AZ state govt that can help us find a solution please pass it along.
00:00 - A day in the life of a greenskeeper living at 7,000 feet and working at a golf course at 4,600 feet…in January😅
00:00 - The end of an era: my (and Barley’s) last day at Seven Canyons⛳️
- If you ask @usopengolf fans, Barley and I are out here “trying to slow down the greens”😂 If you ask a turf professional, you’d know we’re just trying to keep them alive until tomorrow. At least I’ve got my most reliable (and cute) crew member with me @DogsOfTurf
- On today’s episode of the #JavelinaDiaries “How do you repair the damage?” Agronomy team assemble! The crew has gotten really good at solving the fairway jigsaw puzzles the javelina create for us every night🧩 Greenside up!
00:00 - Barley’s favorite part of our morning course checks: chasing the mulies off of the fairways back into the National Forest🦌
00:00 - It’s hard to believe I’ve had Barley for an entire decade today! He will be 11 next month but he’s still the goofy boy I brought home 10 years ago as a college graduation present to myself. I don’t know what I’d do without him by my side every day and I’m so thankful for him🥰🐾
- Fairway mower training with our newest recruit this morning…having never worked on a golf course before I didn’t expect him to lay down some absolute LASERS!
- I am excited to share that in Sept I will be joining @BernhardCompany as the Western US Territory Manager! It’s bittersweet leaving a property I’ve poured so much of myself into, I’ve learned/accomplished so much but I’m excited for a new opportunity to grow. Onwards and upwards!
- Replying to @hitmanbronzlol except I’ve watched them do it…it’s 100% javelina. We’ve got between 100-150 of them. Somewhere between 4-5 herds surround the golf course property
- Welcome to tarantula season in northern Arizona. Better check the cup before reaching in to grab your ball🕷️
00:00 - Kid comes back to the shop and says “I think I used the wrong mower on the target greens” …ya think?🤦🏻♀️
- An incredible sunrise had the skies looking like cotton candy for the start of our Tuesday maintenance morning⛳️
