TurfNet personalities Frank Rossi, Dave Wilber, Randy Wilson, John Reitman, Jon Kiger and Peter McCormick interview a variety of turfies on a multitude of subjects... or just pontificate upon occasion.

In this episode of the Renovation Report, sponsored by Golf Preservations, Chad Goetz, senior design associate with Nicklaus Design, talks with John Reitman about a recent restoration of the Cochise Course at Desert Mountain in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Goetz talks about the history of this Nicklaus Signature Course that was the original site of The Tradition on the PGA Champions Tour, and the thought process that led to this restoration.

Goetz also discusses some of the historic design features of the layout, the work that went into retaining them and turf choices then went into the restoration.

Renovation Report — Chad Goetz, Nicklaus Design

In this episode Frank speaks with Dr. Michael J. Goatley Jr., Professor and Turfgrass Extension Specialist at Virginia Tech. His contributions to sports turf management and turfgrass science have earned him numerous honors, including the 2023 PGMS Gold Medal Award and election as an American Society of Agronomy Fellow in 2018.

Dr. Goatley and Frank do their best to not sound like the OG Muppets, covering topics such as nutrient management and training the next generation of turf professionals.

In this episode, we forecast what lies ahead for golf operations in 2025.  As with all Rockbottum CC intel briefings, it's in code, discernible only by a certain IQ level.  (Not too high, not too low.)

In a bonus segment, Ludell gets to the bottum of this whole mysterious drone issue.

Prior to delving into holiday glimmers, Dave provides a Walter update and Peter anticipates the arrival of his new rescue dog, Kobe, inbound from Georgia. One of Peter's glimmers involved a family horse-drawn sleigh ride experience for Patty's birthday, two days after Christmas.

Peter laments a catastrophic moment of stupidity with a home project that cost him dearly.

Foodie talk prevails with Dave's first pizza foray with his new Ooni oven while Peter waxes poetic about his marinated tenderloin for Christmas and his better-late-than-never discovery of the virtues of finishing salt, as a result of a gift of a tub of Maldon salt.

Paul MacCormack's upcoming Mindful Super Leadership Master Class comes up for discussion, as does a tribute to the late Jim Husting, CGCS, who passed away just before Christmas.
