This week on Turf Today we host episode 3 of Rolling with the Green Section. Join Ross Niewola and Mitch Leininger, two front-line agronomy experts from the USGA, as they demystify the science behind championship level maintenance. Ross explores the cutting-edge shift toward output-guided maintenance, where metrics like green speed, firmness, clipping volume, and soil moisture guide decisions on fertilizer, irrigation, mowing frequency, and more. Meanwhile, Mitch dives into the art and science of bunker health, discussing how site-specific fertility, precise sand depth, routine raking, proper drainage, and strategic renovation keep bunkers both playable and resilient. Whether you're a Superintendent looking to optimize resources, a new student of the indusrty or simply curious about how agronomy shapes your golf experience, this episode delivers a master class in modern, data-driven turf management.

Turf, Tech, and Taking Risks: Leadership Lessons with Jason VanBuskirk On this episode of Leadership on the Links, we sit down with Jason VanBuskirk—a golf course superintendent turned tech entrepreneur—whose journey from turfgrass to tech has reshaped how modern superintendents think about efficiency, data, and innovation. Jason shares how his frustrations managing day-to-day operations at Stowe Acres Country Club led him to build a digital solution—TurfCloud—which ultimately evolved into a foundational piece of GreenSight's cutting-edge platform. Today, GreenSight combines drone imagery, soil sensors, autonomous mowing, and job tracking into one integrated system that's redefining the superintendent's toolbox. From navigating early startup chaos to forming key partnerships with companies like Husqvarna and Harold's, Jason offers sharp insights for superintendents, innovators, and anyone looking to challenge the status quo. Whether you're curious about robotics, seeking smarter labor solutions, or just wondering what it takes to turn an idea into an industry-shaping company—this conversation delivers real lessons from someone who's walked the fairway and paved a new path.     What you'll learn in this episode From Superintendent to Innovator: Jason's journey from Stowe Acres to launching TurfCloud and ultimately joining GreenSight as VP of Business Development. GreenSight's Tech Stack: Drones, job boards, soil sensors, autonomous mowers—an all-in-one dashboard for superintendents. Autonomous Mowing is Here: Early adopters are seeing labor savings, consistent course conditions, and growing interest among members. Align with the Right People: Success in both turf and tech hinges on relationships—with your team, your mentors, and your family. Entrepreneurship Mindset: Don't live in the “what ifs.” If you've got a good idea, go for it.

John Dwyer — founder of The Institute of Wow, direct response marketing expert, and creator of standout campaigns (including a rare Jerry Seinfeld deal) that help businesses win without competing on price. Key Points: Theming sells: Inspired by Disney, JD uses evergreen, public domain themes (wildlife, outer space, dinosaurs) to make offers irresistible year‑round. Free IP example: Attack of the Dinosaurs collectible promo netted $500K in 4 weeks. Seinfeld home loan campaign: Replaced rate discounts with a free vacation, resulting in billions in extra loans. Incentives over discounts: Low‑cost/high‑perceived‑value rewards take focus off price — must match what the audience wants. Turf farm + premium beer bonus = sold out in days. Loyalty rewards swapped for movie vouchers boosted response. Ultimate incentive — travel: Access to unsold hotel rooms sold as bulk vouchers (~$48 special). Works for big‑ticket and demo offers; Harley dealers see ~3.5 sales per 10 test rides. Same cost as a 10% discount, far more pulling power. Doesn't work for every sector (e.g., funerals). JD's Principles: Don't discount — differentiate with irresistible offers. Match incentive to customer desires, not product features. Use free IP themes to avoid licensing costs. Focus on high perceived value / low actual cost. Connect with John: vacationsincentive.com (email for 2‑for‑1 podcast listener deal) Email: john@theinstituteofwow.com⁠

This week, we welcome back Tyler Bloom of Bloom Golf Partners, an executive search and business consulting firm. Tyler began his career as a golf course superintendent, managing turf across several courses in the mid-Atlantic. Five years ago, he launched his company to help golf course managers improve recruitment strategies. Since then, Bloom Golf Partners has grown rapidly, expanding its focus beyond staffing to include broader business consulting services.In this episode, we dive into a recent project Tyler developed with Pat Jones from Flagstick LLC—the Golf Course Superintendent Employment Trends Study: Assistant Superintendents. This must-read report is available for free at www.bloomgolfpartners.com.We spend time exploring the survey's findings, particularly the generational differences in work habits and values. One standout insight: assistant superintendents rated soft skills—leadership, communication, and business knowledge—as four times more important than agronomic expertise. The study also highlights ongoing concerns around work and life balance, long hours, anxiety, and low compensation as key barriers to employee retention.Ultimately, the conversation reinforces the need for leadership and communication training as essential tools for superintendents who want to build strong, loyal teams. The survey found that 60% of assistant superintendents are fully committed to making this their long-term career. It's a fascinating discussion—and one that's well worth your time.Visit EarthWorks at:  https://www.earthworksturf.com Podcasts: https://www.earthworksturf.com/earthworks-podcasts/ 2 Minute Turf Talks: https://www.earthworksturf.com/2-minute-turf-talks/
