This episode of the GCSAA Podcast dives into the wild kingdom that has been Seven Canyons Golf Club in Sedona, Ariz., this fall with two folks responsible for the care of that property — Director of Agronomy Andy Huber and Assistant Superintendent Emily Casey (@emcaseyturf). The team at Seven Canyons has been dealing with widespread turf damage caused by javelinas, and a video of the damage that Casey shared on social media went viral — the video has been viewed more than 33 million times on X/Twitter — taking the story to an international audience. We talk about life as a social media sensation, the practical challenges created by these wild animals and a massive in-house renovation of the course that has taken place while all this was going on.
