1 Take the bump and run Kyle Harris, superintendent of the Blue Course at Streamsong (Fla.) Resort, knows all the grooves at his course, as demonstrated by a properly played bump and run after his playing partners both missed the green.

That’s a lot of turf expertise in one photo.

3 Turf school Chip Lewison, CGCS at Saddlebrook Resort (center, wearing hat) in Wesley Chapel, Fla., gives a group of journalists a crash course on Florida greens during the recent Turf and Ornamental Communicators Association meeting. With so many turf journalists present, Lewison was politically correct during his speech, but we know the truth… Golfdom is his favorite turf pub.

4 Yellow nutsedge beware! Luqi Li, Ph.D. candidate, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Clark Throssell, Ph.D., Golfdom research editor; and Roch Gaussoin, Ph.D., turfgrass scientist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, observe Li’s research on yellow nutsedge ecology during the recent Turf Field Day at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

5/6 Babies on board The Golfdom family grew by two recently as Bill and Melissa Roddy (photo 5) welcomed Sarah Jane and Breanna Frierson and Dave Given (photo 6) welcomed Grey within a few days of each other. That’s longtime dad and LP Gas publisher Brian Kanaba nervously holding baby Grey. Nice form, BK!
