On June 29th The Peninsula Club hosted the 9th Annual USGA Ultradwarf Surface Management Seminar. This event had been hosted by Rodney Lingle at Memphis Country Club for the past 8 years and is considered by many to be the “Godfather” of Ultradwarf Management. Forty superintendents, assistants and club officials, attended the event. Jared and Rodney teamed up to discuss their greens management practices. There was a classroom question and answer session followed by in-field demonstrations on putting greens #5 and #1.
The day was a resounding success. It was a great time to learn, meet new people and share various methods to achieve excellent putting greens surfaces.
