INCORRECT MAINTENANCE DOCTRINES LEAD TO DEAD GRASS & USELESS GOLF PLAYING SURFACES !

Confessions Of A Sick Bastжrd Who Likes To See The Poa Die  ― 

~

•   Chronically sick   •   Constant struggle every year   •   Constantly trying to die   •   Disease absolutely exploded   •   Disease more prevalent   •   Failures   •   Highly susceptible grass   •   Keeping green on life support   •   Problem green   •   Stuck in the circle of decline   •   War zone   •   Worst disease ever   •   Worst playing conditions. 

~

The above quotations describe the predictable results on golf courses managed by so-called snowflake-activist-superintendents, like Jason Haines ( aka Turf Hacker ), who has confessed that his unproven & incorrect maintenance doctrines are failures. 

~

Haines has described himself as the Sick Bastжrd … Who Likes To See The Poa Die.   [ ?!?!?!?! ]  

~

And, based upon the photographic evidence that he has presented in his Turf Hacker blog, he has been granted his wish. 

~

See The Confessions Of An Activist-Superintendent in the link below. 

~

Haines, & other activist-superintendent, allow themselves to become distracted with failed, unproven, incorrect, & undisciplined doctrines that do not work, or have no place in decisions concerning golf course maintenance, such as   ―  

~

•   Environmental Impact Quotient ( EIQ )   •   Go Brown Anti-Cosmetic Golf Maintenance   •   Fertilizer Nutrient Reduction   •   Integrated Pest Management Practices ( IPM )   •   Minimum Level For Sustainable Nutrition Guidelines ( MLSN )   •   Organic Maintenance   •   Pace Turf Information Service   •   Pollinator Best Management Practices   •   Self-Imposing Restrictions & Prohibitions Against Pesticides   •   Spot Spray & Spot Treatment Replacing Blanket Application   •   Switching To Ineffective Green Alternative Pesticides   •   Zero Cultivation & Reduced Core Aeration. 

~

By adopting these incorrect & undisciplined maintenance doctrines, observers question the activist-superintendents’ ability & competence to provide what paying golf-customers demand. 

~

The most successful main-stream golf course superintendents provide paying customers with high-quality playing conditions & aesthetics with greener, thicker, pest-free, & manicured turf at an affordable cost. 

~

Haines, & other activist-superintendent, also appear to be clueless about plant physiology & disease incidence. 

~

In fact, many of their diagnostic-observations are absolutely wrong. 

~

The golf industry’s correct & disciplined main-stream superintendents must recognize that they are on a collision course with pesticide-hating activist-superintendent. 

~

In order to successfully deter their malicious efforts, the golf industry must establish policies for expelling these snowflake activists from its trade associations.
