Frank chats with regular guest Brian Whitlark, Senior Consulting Agronomist for the USGA’s West Region about getting ready for Desert Golf Season. How did the overseeding go and with more folks staying around in the summer months, how is transition been the last few years? Of course, no conversation would be complete with discussion of water use in the West. Specifically, how a recent collection of seminars is bringing golf industry and water purveyors together to develop a sustainable plan moving forward.
