This episode begins with a brief talk about my upcoming US trip before the main part of the podcast where I interview Delphene Tseng who is founder of a company called Landseer communications. I first met Delphene through a Superintendent in Victoria, Andrew Anderson, before I did this interview. I was really interested in hearing what she's doing to help golf courses talk about themselves, promote themselves from an environmental and sustainability POV, and work with the first green programme that we have adopted here in Australia as well as Audubon international.

As Delphene puts on her website

“Every course has its own signature hole; every course has its own story.

​Tell your neighbours about the salamanders that live by the healthy water on your course. 

Show the world the native flowers you planted to create a pollinator habitat. 

Let everyone hear the birdsong that floats between the morning fog.

​Big or small, we can help you tell the story that touches the heart of your community.”

This is the second time I have had the pleasure of hosting Cale and Jada on the podcast. Since we last met up Jada has now become Dr Jada Powlen as she achieved her PHD and Dr Bigelow led Purdue University to another turf bowl win. Purdue University is in Indiana. The focus of the university is large horticulture crops and what is referred to as row crops. The broad range of the university allows for a range of ideas to adapt turfgrass and really looking at sustainability practices in turf managers. We talk about soil biology, the rhizosphere, and micro biome studies currently taking place. 

We also talk about different cool season cultivars and the effort going into making these work better in terms of disease and drought and climate stress.

In this episode we sit down and speak to Dr Jim Baird from UC Riverside. Not many listeners would know Jim but he has a vast arrange of experience within the turf industry we talk about his time as a USGA Agronomist, as well as his research career. We discuss different turf varieties as Jim is an expert in developing different grasses as well as improving the use of them. He also has done a lot of work dealing with drought conditions and the issues that come with it.

At the time of recording PoaCure had not been registered in California however Dr Baird was instrumental in the first trials for PoaCure in the US and developing PoaCure from an experimental product to a new standard in Poa control. In fact we have based a lot of our understanding for Australia on Dr Baird’s work on PoaCure.

This episode is slightly more random than usual as I am not interviewing anyone. This is from the golf course superintendence conference in Phoenix earlier on this year where I do Vlog at the end of each day which is beneficial from two points view one is that people get to see a few for what is going on in the US when I travel for the conference and also the other side gives me a good way to let people know what I’ve met that day from a seminars I’ve been to.

This episode features Dr Wendell Hutchens from University of Arkansas. Wendell’s expertise is disease, especially soil bourne diseases. He works on cultural and chemical controls of diseases and disorders in both warm season and cool season grasses. Wendell was bestowed the Musser award of excellence. The award is given to outstanding Ph.D. candidates who, in the final phase of their graduate studies, demonstrated overall excellence throughout their doctoral program in turfgrass research. 

For such as young professor I found him very informative and practical. His Twitter (X) handle is https://twitter.com/hutchenswendell
