Being new to the social networking scene, I spent some time exploring other blogs of turf professionals. One that happened to catch my attention is titled, "The Ridge at Castle Pines North - Agronomy," written by David J. Soltvedt, CGCS. Much like myself, it seems Mr. Soltvedt has recently discovered that social media isn't a fad but has evolved into an everyday means of communication.
His blog aims to include everyone from the occasional golfer to other golf course superintendents. This includes tips for golfers on fixing ball marks and replacing divots just to remind golfers of the etiquette that is required when playing the game. Mr. Soltvedt also posts blogs going out to neighboring residents of the course to keep their eyes peeled for people out disturbing the course.
Mr. Solvedt posts some of his cultural practices and lays it down for not only the turf professional to understand but the curious golfer as well. I found it especially interesting to read how he and his staff gear up for the Colorado winters. His blogs are informative yet short, keeping the readers attention using photos to give a visual of what exactly his message is.
Mr. Solvedt's blog is geared to educate golfers and professionals in the importance of agronomy on the golf course. He offers up his personal
e- mail to those with questions about golf course maintenance practices. I will go back to check on his posts frequently as Mr. Solvedt seems very passionate and sincere about his place in the industry.
