About this listen

 I discuss technical turfgrass topics with turfgrass managers, scientists, greenkeepers, and whoever drops by the ATC office hours. There's a lot of talk about the work done to create playing surfaces for golf, and also about growing grass for sporting surfaces of all sort, and also some talk of lawns.© 2025 Asian Turfgrass Center Golf Nature & Ecology Science

    2024 #OM246 review with Chris Tritabaugh
    Dec 31 2024

    Join me, along with Chris Tritabaugh from Hazeltine National GC, as we review autumn soil test results. We especially look at the #OM246 total organic material results, and discuss those in the context of maintenance work done, changes in the test results from past years, and most importantly, the relation of the tests to putting green performance.
