September 15th is a day that is of significant value. One, it is my birthday, which as the years go by, has more significant value it seems. The date was of agronomic significance when I was a golf course superintendent growing Bentgrass here in the Southeast. It was the date that I always circled on my calendar as the day I thought we could see the light at the end of the tunnel after a long season. We always sat down as a team and discussed what did we need to do to recover and make sure we were setting ourselves up for a successful season next year.
