2026 GC Horn: Regulatory Readiness with Dr. Bryan Unruh

In this episode of Against the Grain, we're sharing Dr. J. Bryan Unruh's presentation from the 2026 GC Horn Seminar, Regulatory Readiness: How Florida Superintendents Can Prepare for New Environmental Rules. Dr. Unruh walks through the environmental and water quality issues shaping golf course management in Florida, including TMDLs, BMAPs, BMP implementation, certification requirements, nutrient management plans, and the reporting and recordkeeping superintendents need to be ready for. It's a timely, practical session built to help golf course superintendents understand what is changing, what deadlines matter, and how to start preparing now. If you're trying to get ahead of new expectations around compliance, sampling, documentation, and nutrient management, this presentation gives a clear look at what is coming and what it means for Florida golf courses.

Anyone Can Thrive: Leadership and Legacy with T.A. Barker, CGCS

In this episode, we sit down with current GCSAA President, T.A. Barker, CGCS to talk leadership from the superintendent's seat, and what it's like guiding the profession into a milestone year. T.A. shares his roots in a multi-generation golf family, the real-world pressure of big infrastructure decisions (like tackling an aging irrigation system), and how he's tried to stay approachable while serving at the national level. The conversation also gets into career pathways, building a stronger pipeline, and why creating space for more women and new voices in the industry is not a side topic. It's the work. Along the way, you'll hear stories from the road, a Ryder Cup moment that still makes him laugh, and a few behind-the-scenes notes on what the centennial year has planned. If you care about leadership, team culture, and where the superintendent profession is headed next, this one's for you.
