  • Stu Sheridan
    Sep 15 2026

    On this episode of Turf Today, Stu Sheridan takes us through his career and some of the people and experiences that helped shape it. We talk about his early days at Naas Golf Club, the Ohio program, his internships at Muirfield Village and Bay Hill, and what he learned from working major events across North America.

    Stu also shares a great story from Bay Hill involving Arnold Palmer, talks about why relationships and networking have played such a big role in his career, and takes us inside the major first tee and tunnel project at Capilano that helped spark his interest in golf construction.

    We also talk about something that doesn't get discussed enough in the turf industry, the career opportunities that exist outside of the traditional Superintendent path. Stu explains why golf construction can be the "unknown" career in the eyes of the turf industry and why now is such an exciting time to be involved.

    Another great conversation on Turf Today! Share with your friends in the industry.

  • James Symons
    Sep 8 2026

    Today on Turf Today, we're celebrating Thank a Golf Course Superintendent Day with a conversation featuring James Symons, Director of Agronomy at Anthem Country Club in Las Vegas.

    James takes us through his journey from Mississauga, Ontario, to managing turf in the middle of the Las Vegas desert. We talk about the challenges of water conservation, surviving extreme summer conditions, and the massive renovation work he's been a part of at Anthem.

    We also get into the reality of growing grass in the desert, the lessons James has learned throughout his career, and what keeps him pushing to be better.

    Plus, Brian shares a little bit about his recent trip with his son.

  • USGA 5: Tom Gould & Zach Nicoludis
    Sep 1 2026

    In this episode of Rolling with the USGA Green Section, Adam and Brian dive into two timely articles from the USGA Green Section Record and sit down with the experts behind them.

    First, Tom Gould joins us to discuss controlling blue-green algae on putting greens. We talk about why it develops, the conditions that encourage it and strategies Superintendents can use to manage it.

    Then, Zac Nicklaus joins the show to break down his article, "A Superintendent's Guide to Surviving Summer." From heat and humidity to drought, disease pressure, irrigation challenges and everything else summer throws at a golf course, Zac shares some practical insight for getting through the toughest months of the year.

    Two great articles. Two great conversations. And plenty of information you can take back to the golf course.

    This is Rolling with the USGA Green Section, presented by Turf Today.
