Putting in the hours lately fusing pipe for our driving range renovations. Can remember sitting in irrigation class back in college wondering when and where I’d ever get to do this stuff. Well here I am.

Being a golf course superintendent and not playing your own course is like being a chef and not eating the food you cook. How do you know if it’s good or not?

Mower-mounted, remotely sensed soil moisture mapping tech shows promise in early comparisons to Precision Sense (capacitance sensor). Could be a game-changer for fairway precision irrigation by eliminating time and labor barriers in data collection for superintendents.

Collar establishment begins this morning with a rider. 2 reels set at .250 and 1 at green height for the clean up. This method has proven to keep collars consistent while also the greens original shape.
