  • The podcast that got me into podcasts

    Never been a big podcast guy and only 2 years into working turf but I listen damn near every morning while cutting greens. So amazing to hear the boys talking about the hidden world of course management and what it’s really like. Amazing interviews with good questions and a huge range of superintendents from pebble beach to small clubs a hour away from me. Love the Instagram page and podcasts are even better. Keep doing what your doing guys.

  • Great listen for stories of those in the Turf Industry

    I really enjoy listening to Turf Today. It’s a laid back, informative listen into the industry, about the people who live and breathe it.

    Adam and Brian have a great relationship on mic making it an easy listen with two guys who sound sincerely interested in all those who are guests to the podcast. If you’re a Greenkeeper or into golf and want to learn about the people and processes that make it happen
