In all the activity in the past few weeks, we forgot to mention that we passed the one year anniversary of our blogs initiation. The first blog post (aside from setting up profiles) was presented by Megan Kennelly on May 1, 2009. The South Central post was entitled "patch-a-rama in Kansas" and served as a great kickoff to the start of this blog.
As you know, our blog was setup to provide timely disease updates to golf course superintendents in the United States. After the end of the calendar year we also started posting "international updates" in an effort to serve the growing number of international visitors to the site. While the blog serves as the primary means of information, we also transfer all of the information to our twitter and more recently Facebook accounts.
