About this listen

Every golfer knows the feeling, you walk up to the first green and see holes, sand, and disruption. But what looks like damage is actually devotion.


In this episode of Scrap to Scratch, Ryan Wimer (@MrFairways) dives into the history and science of golf course maintenance, from early greenkeeping in Scotland to modern aeration, mowing heights, and the technology superintendents use today. This is the story of why greens get plugged, how courses recover faster than ever, and why maintenance is the single most important thing keeping the game alive.


A behind-the-scenes look at the people, practices, and progress that shape every round we play.
