Analyzing the tweets and the accounts of the turf industry on Twitter.

I’ve shared the posts from 2025 that got the most views, and Joe Gulotti and I talked about these in a holiday extravaganza. Then there are these 10 that got the fewest.

The GCSAA announced last week that Dr. Larry Stowell and Dr. Wendy Gelernter have been selected to receive the prestigious Outstanding Contribution Award. I asked Google’s NotebookLM AI service to generate an audio overview of their contributions.
