On Episode 3 of Ground Etc., we talk about where the water is going on your ballfield. Our guest, Cory Stoneburner, worked for a company that specialized in ball field installation and renovation. He has been with ABI for two years, and now he’s ready to discuss water pitfalls to avoid and recommend drainage setups to prevent flooding and wash outs.

We’re back with Chuck White, of United Turf and Track. In this episode, we switch from discussing what goes on behind the scenes to how anyone can lead and empower their crew, on and off the infield. Whether you have a team of full-time people, or you are leading a small group of volunteers, we cover everything from tackling interpersonal issues to learning how to lead for the first time. Join us as we dive one step deeper into the world of infield grooming.
