Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2025 The Year in Review with Frank Rossi
Q: Did grass species have an impact on surface performance and was grain a factor?
Yes, we found pretty clearly that in general, once you got to 60 to 70 percent annual bluegrass, you generally held up to traffic better than if you had less than that and had more bank grass.
Rising Star Tony Springmann
Q: Can you expand on your desire to preserve and promote the history of the game?
It's about emphasizing the quality of courses to reflect how the game is supposed to be played and maintain relevance to historical practices.
All Stars of Turf John Colo and Jim Colo
Q: What were the greatest challenges you faced 35 years ago?
Initially, it was about balancing low wages and a passion for golf course maintenance; now the challenge is maintaining quality and managing a team effectively.
All Stars of Turf John Colo and Jim Colo
Q: How common are the agronomic challenges you see between your two golf courses?
The challenges are very common, both having the same grass on greens and tees, with occasional variations in weather.
Lifelong Education | with Dr. Mike Goatley
Q: How has teaching changed from your end?
Dr. Goatley reflected on changes in student expectations, expressing that many students now expect high grades simply for attendance, which has challenged his old-school grading approach.
