• USGA 4: Tom Gould & Brian Gietka

  In this fourth episode of Rolling With the Green Section, Adam and Brian bring on two USGA agronomists who are shaping the way Superintendents think about turf stress, recovery, and long-term planning. First, we sit down with Tom Gould, author of "It's Wet Wilt Season" and "Mending by Seeding", to break down moisture stress, wilt patterns, and some ways to rebuild turf during peak pressure. Then we talk with Brian Gietka, whose pieces "Hope Is Not a Plan" and "Dealing With Winter Injury" serve as essential reminders that preparation determines how well turf survives the cold season. From summer stress to winter recovery, this episode connects the dots across the calendar and gives superintendents actionable insights they can use right now. Turf Today is a proud partner of the USGA and is a part of The Superintnedent Network
