In this episode of Rolling with the USGA Green Section, Adam and Brian dive into two timely articles from the USGA Green Section Record and sit down with the experts behind them.

First, Tom Gould joins us to discuss controlling blue-green algae on putting greens. We talk about why it develops, the conditions that encourage it and strategies Superintendents can use to manage it.

Then, Zac Nicklaus joins the show to break down his article, "A Superintendent's Guide to Surviving Summer." From heat and humidity to drought, disease pressure, irrigation challenges and everything else summer throws at a golf course, Zac shares some practical insight for getting through the toughest months of the year.

Two great articles. Two great conversations. And plenty of information you can take back to the golf course.

This is Rolling with the USGA Green Section, presented by Turf Today.

This week on Turf Today, Adam is joined by Tony Goldsby, Agronomist with The Andersons, as guest host for an episode packed with great stories, career insight and plenty of turf talk.

Before bringing on our featured guest, Adam and Tony talk about Tony's career, his path into the turf industry, and what he's learned working alongside superintendents across the country.

Then the guys sit down with Chad DeKorte, Superintendent at Canoa Ranch and Torres Blancas Golf Clubs. Chad takes us through his journey from Michigan to Arizona, managing two golf courses, bunker renovations, building great teams, and some of the wildest stories from his career- including cars crashing onto the golf course and some unbelievable things found on his property.

We also put Tony to work with Ask the Agronomist, tackling a question every superintendent can relate to.

And to close things out, Richard Milko joins us to talk about his experience working at Gillette Stadium for the FIFA World Cup and what goes into preparing a sports field for one of the biggest events in the world.

Another episode with a little bit of everything.

This week on Turf Today, we're joined by Sam Moynihan, Director of Agronomy at Detroit Golf Club.

Sam has an incredible story to tell, from getting his start at The Golf Club at South River and studying turf at West Virginia University, to working on major construction projects and preparing some of the game's biggest events. He's hosted four Rocket Classic PGA Tour events, worked the BMW Championship, and been part of four Memorial Tournaments.

We dive into the massive renovation at Detroit Golf Club and what it took to complete the project between two PGA Tour events. Sam also shares some great stories from his career, including a couple of close calls involving tractors, excavators, creeks, and ponds!

But one of the biggest themes of this conversation is the people behind the scenes. Sam talks about his staff, the incredible effort they've put in over the last two seasons, and the mentorships, friendships and relationships that make this industry so special.

On a personal note, we're very excited to congratulate Sam and his wife on becoming new parents! We're thrilled to have Sam on the show during such an exciting time in his life.
