I had the pleasure of spending a half day at the US Open at Congressional Country Club. It is always educational to observe the techniques that the host club is using to prepare for the Open. I also had time to meet with other superintendents and USGA agronomists to trade ideas on how to make our course a better place to play. From what I saw, it will be a great test of golf.
Today marks the beginning of mobilization of equipment on # 8 for the upcoming restoration. Our golf course contractor is Total Turf and with golf course architect Brian Schneider from Renaissance Golf, they will be teaming up to open a new chapter in Llanerch's storied history.
