Review another turf blog: Veridescent, Turf Disease and Golf Course Business
I have been looking for a good turf blog to comment and review and I have found not one, not two, but three that I think are not only good, but also very useful information for our future profession. I like Veridescent, Turf Diseases and Golf Course Business. I am amazed at how much information you can get out of these three sites and all for free.
Veridescent is a turf blog that focuses mostly in Asia. The blog is easy to read, well organized, with many illustrations and a good source of useful information particularly in seminars, cultural practices and diseases. Also it looks like this blog is updated constantly, I would say about every 10 days, sometimes even more often. It has a lot of links to other interesting sites. Particularly, it has a lot of information on warm-season grasses since Asia is predominately warm and humid.
Turf Diseases is another blog that gives a lot of useful information, data and links to other sites that are related with our industry. Also the main topic, diseases, along with soils and greens committees, is one of the most challenging issues that a superintendent has to deal with. So having such useful and helpful information at the tip of your fingers is just great!
Another blog that I plan to follow from now on is Golf Course Business. Maybe it is just the title, but as I have always said, I believe that the future will bring more superintendents that also are able to run the business side of the course. Golf course maintenance and water management are the most expensive cost of a golf course. So why couldn’t the person in charge of budgeting the main cost, be able to run the whole operation? From my experience I have realized that running a golf course is relatively easy, but running a golf course well is not that easy. Golf courses, as any other business, are hard to make profitable, but can be possible if the main person in charge knows how well the business is going. He or she will be able to understand why budgets have to be reduced or in the contrary, knowing the expected green fee forecast could increase the level of maintenance to create a positive impact for future guests and/or members.

I'm 57 years old and female. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago with COPD and I was beyond scared! My lung function test indicated 49% capacity. After having had flu a year ago, the shortness of breath, coughing and chest pains continued even after being treated with antibiotics. I've been smoking two packs a day for 36 years. Being born without a sternum caused my ribs to be curled in just one inch away from my spine, resulting to underdeveloped lungs. At age 34 I had surgery and it was fixed. Unfortunately my smoking just caused more damage to my already under developed lungs. The problem was having is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to give up! Have tried twice before and nearly went crazy and don't want to go through that again. I saw the fear in my husband and children's eyes when I told them about my condition then they start to find solution on their own to help my condition.I am an 57 now who was diagnose COPD emphysema which I know was from my years of smoking. I started smoking in school when smoking was socially acceptable. I remember when smoking was permitted in hospitals. It was not known then how dangerous cigarettes were for us, and it seemed everybody smoked but i was able to get rid of my COPD lung condition through the help of Dr Akhigbe total cure herbal medicine. my husband saw his testimony on the internet he used his powerful medicine to cured different diseases. we contacted his email [drrealakhigbe@gmail.com} He has the right herbal formula to help you get rid and repair any lung conditions and others diseases, will cure you totally and permanently with his natural organic herbs,We received the medicine through courier delivery service. I wish anybody who starts smoking at a young age would realize what will eventually happen to their bodies if they continue that vile habit throughout their life.
