In this special Thanksgiving Week episode, we want to express our gratitude for more than 40 years of support and for helping us advance the principles of Biological Soil Management across the industry. With over 250 episodes behind us, we’re celebrating the holiday by revisiting one of our earliest—and most beloved—conversations. This week, enjoy a classic episode with our longtime friend John Chassard, superintendent at Lehigh Country Club in Allentown, Pennsylvania. John has led the care of this William Flynn–designed gem for more than 30 years, making it one of golf’s best-kept secrets.

Amid the many challenges and demands in the workplace coupled with everyday barriers to finding work-life balance, it can be difficult to remember the things that matter most. As the year winds down, we asked people across the golf turf industry to take a moment to reflect on what they are most thankful for. Disclaimer: We knew everyone would mention their family first (and they did), so we asked them to skip that answer for the sake of avoiding too many redundancies. Justin Sims, CGCS Director of Grounds and Facilities Alotian Club, Roland, Arkansas Thankful I work at a club where resources match expectations. Thankful for the wonderful team I'm fortunate to work with on a daily basis. Thankful I have the support and flexibility that allows me to break away and attend all my three boys sporting events. Charlie Fultz General Manager and Superintendent Heritage Oaks Golf Course, Harrisonburg, Virginia Colleagues in the turf business who are always willing to help each other ADHD medication The golfers who helped us achieve the most rounds played and highest revenue year in our 24 year history. My 16 and 11 year old cats Greta and Gigi. That they are here another year healthy. Jared Viarengo Director of Grounds and Club Operations Applebrook Golf Club, Malvern, Pennsylvania My health. The older I get, the more I realize its importance. My career/job. I still get a tremendous amount of satisfaction going to work every day. My relationships. Some of the fantastic friends and accomplished people I have gotten to know through the years, both within and outside the golf industry. Wendell Hutchens, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of Turfgrass Science University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Arkansas I am thankful for the incredible impact that (the late) Dr. Bruce Martin had on the turf industry. He was a great man and he left a lasting legacy. I am thankful for a fantastic turf team here at the University of Arkansas. My graduate students Mike Battaglia, Sharandeep Chahal and Sam Kreinberg are truly remarkable. Also, my mentor, Dr. Mike Richardson, has given me more opportunities than I ever thought possible. I am thankful that I have the privilege to work in the best industry in the world. The turfgrass managers that I have the joy of interacting with day to day make my job fulfilling, and I am just thankful to be a part of such a special industry. Jim Pavonetti, CGCS Golf and Grounds Superintendent Fairview Country Club, Greenwich, Connecticut I'm thankful for my network of friends in the industry that help me succeed year after year. You cannot thrive in this industry all alone. I'm thankful for a wonderful membership that listens and understands that without their support the golf course cannot be what they hope it could be. I'm thankful for a great staff with a warm family culture. Everyone helps and supports each other, making the golf course better and better each year. It truly makes the season fly by and not seem like a burden that it could easily be during tough stretches of weather. Paul MacCormack General Manager and Superintendent, and TurfNet Contributor Fox Meadow Golf Course, Prince Edward Island Editor's note: Although Paul is from Canada and Thanksgiving is traditionally an American holiday, we figured The Godfather of Mindfulness probably lives a life of gratitude every day. This year has been a trial in so many ways, so my gratitude flows for all the small things. The sunrise, watching a flower bloom over time, or seeing the joy in people's faces that comes from enjoying the simple things in life. Mike Goatley, Ph.D. Professor and Extension Specialist Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia Health A job that I enjoy A great team to work with at Virginia Tech Carlos Arraya General Manager and CEO Bellerive Country Club, St. Louis, Missouri Daily support of my community.

This is my passion. Bradley S. Klein, Ph.D. Writer and Consultant, and TurfNet Contributor Divot Designs, Bloomfield, Connecticut That the inevitable aging process and gradual limitation of physical capacities I used to take for granted have not limited my joy and appreciation for the things I can still do and experience. That I am able to earn a living and make a career doing what I love to do. That we still live in a democracy. Paul Koch, Ph.D. Department Chair, Professor University of Wisconsin Department of Plant Pathology, Madison, Wisconsin My research team, including lab manager Kurt Hockemeyer and my grad students past and present. Their dedication to our work is incredible and inspiring. They do all the hard work behind the scenes, and I get to do the fun part and travel around the world and present it to turf managers. But it doesn't happen without them. My fellow turf professors. Research is complex, and different skill sets and perspectives are needed to make true progress. I'm thankful I get to do this job with so many other talented turf nerds. The turf associations. It takes special people to dedicate considerable time to improve things for others, and we have incredible turf associations with incredibly dedicated people in Wisconsin. I'm grateful to be able to work with them. Kevin Ross, CGCS Consulting Agronomist, and TurfNet Contributor OnCourse Turf, Edwards, Colorado Thankful for retirement and the ability to wake up in the morning and do whatever I want. Thankful for the beautiful outdoors and the ability to hike, bike, fish and camp in some of the most wonderful places on earth. My time with TurfNet will come to a close at the end of the year as I will hang up my video camera.

It has been an eventful, if not tumultuous, year for Jack Nicklaus and the company he founded. In a year marked by litigation, the Nicklaus Companies has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection a month after a month after a Florida jury awarded the golf legend a $50 million judgment in a defamation suit against the company. "To protect its employees, clients, and ongoing business operations, Nicklaus Companies LLC (the 'Company') and certain of its subsidiaries today announced that they have commenced voluntary chapter 11 cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware," according to a news release on the Nicklaus Companies website. Nicklaus filed suit against his former company, now controlled by New York banker Howard Milstein, earlier this year after it claimed he considered a $750 million offer to join the LIV Golf league, suffered from dementia and was unable to manage his affairs, according to published reports. Bloomberg News reported that, citing the Chapter 11 filing, Nicklaus Companies has estimated assets of $10 million to $50 million and liabilities of between $500 million and $1 billion. Although the jury ruled against Nicklaus Companies, it cleared Milstein and company executive Andrew O'Brien. "The filing will allow the Company to proactively address its long-term funded indebtedness and other liabilities, as well as a jury verdict returned in a Florida state court last month following a lawsuit filed by company founder and former Co-Chair Jack Nicklaus. The jury ruled in favor of two Nicklaus Companies' executives but awarded $50 million in damages against the Company," continued the Nicklaus Companies release. Nicklaus sold exclusive rights to his golf course design services, including marketing, promotional and branding rights in 2007 for $145 million to Milstein, but stayed on as the face of the company. Nicklaus stepped away from the company he founded a decade later after repeated clashes between the golfer and Milstein, according to Golf Digest, supposedly triggering a five-year noncompete clause. Shortly after Nicklaus stepped down from the board, his former company filed suit alleging he violated terms of the contract and should be restricted from using his name in his own design services. Golf Digest reported that Milstein wanted Nicklaus to continue to run his golf course design business through the company and use of his name for any other endeavor violated the noncompete clause. A Florida arbiter ruled in July 2024 that the golfer was no longer bound by the noncompete agreement. Then in March, a New York judge dismissed the case entirely, ruling that Nicklaus could indeed use his name to promote his course design efforts. Nicklaus then filed a countersuit in response to the LIV Golf claims, the most recent round of litigation between Nicklaus and Nicklaus Companies. The company says it plans to dispute the $50 million verdict that triggered the Chapter 11 filing and explore options to appeal. The North Palm Beach, Florida-based company also says the recent decision will not affect employees.

Wapika Ranch, a private working ranch and family retreat is seeking a qualified full-time Assistant Golf Course and Grounds Superintendent. The nine-hole golf course is located at 6925’ elevation in a remote rural area on the upper Green River 20 miles south of Pinedale, Wyoming. The Golf Course Architect is Carl Thuesen and the par 36, 3652-yard design utilizes the Green River and its tributaries, natural wetlands, irrigation ditches, and 4 ponds to create a unique test of golf that is both challenging and playable for all golfers. Fall of 2017 consisted of sodding T1 bentgrass green and bluegrass tees and fairways along with seeding roughs to a fescue mixture. The Ranch also includes a Fishing Village, a Riding Arena, and a Children’s Barn along with extensive landscaping at each facility.

The numbers are in for this year's Carolinas GCSA Conference and Trade Show. And a record-setting show it was. A record 2,250 people attended this year's show, held Nov. 17-19 at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center. That topped the previous record of 2,162 set in 2024. Many other records fell this year, including 1,515 seminar seats filled. That bested the record set in 2023 of 1,508. Other records set this year were 256 exhibiting vendors, up from 240 in 2024; 446 booths sold, up from 425 in 2007; and 429 participants in the golf championship, up from 374 in 2023. Brian Green (right) of Lonnie Poole Golf Course at North Carolina State University, right, takes over as Carolinas GCSA president, succeeding Alex Tolbert (right) of Orangeburg Country Club in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Photo courtesy of Trent Bouts The record-setting success of the show illustrates the need for superintendents to network and learn from industry experts as well as from colleagues. "Of course, the golf industry is riding high but a week like this doesn't happen without something to bring it together," said Carolinas GCSA executive director Tim Kreger. "And we certainly have 'it' here in the Carolinas with the community that has been built over the years. Our members thrive on getting together and learning from each other. Put that together with the service, quality and value we provide here at Conference and Show and that's why our show is what we saw last week - the biggest and best regional gathering of the golf course maintenance industry in the country." Another milestone this year was the number of companies that offered support outside presence on the trade show floor. A total of 50 companies sponsored a range of other activities associated with the gathering. Bob Farren, CGCS at Pinehurst Resort, (left) was named the recipient of the Carolinas GCSA Distinguished Service Award at this year's conference held recently in Myrtle Beach.
