Golf Course Management Blogging World
« on: January 24, 2012, 10:28:01 AM »
I found this site a couple months ago and have been checking it a few times a week since. It essentially compiled every golf course superintendant's blogs into one page, then breaks them down into region. It's been fun following the different pages and it's easy to see when new content is uploaded. Things are a little slow right now as it's in the middle of winter for most courses, but it's still worth a bookmark.

I thought I would share this with the rest of Golf Club Atlas as I've learned a lot just by checking in every so often.

Here's the link*:

*I have no affiliation with this site what-so-ever, just sharing.

Interesting find Pat. I like it. Bookmarkeed. Should be able to while away a few hours there. Nae gowf today as course closed for first time in a year due to heavy rain (200mm in 24 hours)!

I very much like the greenkeepers' perspectives and questions as they are very much "grounded" in reality. No ivory towers there I suspect!

Do any of the Aussie mob know if there is a similar blog in Oz as the greenkeeping conditions here can be quite specific from region to region.

Cheers Colin

Unlike Pat, I will admit my affiliation to this site.  Also unlike Pat, I am not receiving monthly payouts.  :D  Thanks for the links Brett and Roger, I have a few more to add now.
