This week on Turf Today we host episode 3 of Rolling with the Green Section. Join Ross Niewola and Mitch Leininger, two front-line agronomy experts from the USGA, as they demystify the science behind championship level maintenance. Ross explores the cutting-edge shift toward output-guided maintenance, where metrics like green speed, firmness, clipping volume, and soil moisture guide decisions on fertilizer, irrigation, mowing frequency, and more. Meanwhile, Mitch dives into the art and science of bunker health, discussing how site-specific fertility, precise sand depth, routine raking, proper drainage, and strategic renovation keep bunkers both playable and resilient.

Whether you’re a Superintendent looking to optimize resources, a new student of the indusrty or simply curious about how agronomy shapes your golf experience, this episode delivers a master class in modern, data-driven turf management.

We’re going back in time for an old school Turf Today episode with Adam and original co-host Trevor. Joining them is Daniel Peterson, better known as The Greenskeepah on social media. Superintendent at Paul Harney Golf Course in Massachusetts, Daniel brings a perfect mix of turf wisdom and locker-room comedy, dropping coach-like pep talks one moment and laugh-out-loud stories the next. From silly tales on the course to sharp insights about leadership and life in the turf world, this episode has it all. If you like your greenkeeping knowledge served with a side of banter, load this one up next.

Keep sharing the show with your friends in the industry!

This week on Turf Today, we sit down with Simon Wattier, a 24-year-old turf professional whose résumé reads like a world tour. From the fairways of France to the greens of Switzerland, Ireland, Portugal, and the USA (including a stint at the legendary Augusta National) Simon has packed a career’s worth of experience into just a few short years. We talk about his journey, the lessons he’s learned working across cultures, and what it takes to make your mark in turf management before most people finish their first job. Simon is an absolute stud and we are so grateful he was able to join us. We hope you enjoy hearing about his career and some of the wonderful stories he tells.
