I’ve made some movies with my friends to explain how the grammar of greenkeeping works. You may enjoy watching.

I’ve been doing some teaching, or demonstrating, how I use R software for data analysis in turf-related matters. See the full list of rturf posts. The initial project is about stimpmeter measurements and ClipVol.

I had an enjoyable and wide-ranging conversation with Trent Manning on the Reel Turf Techs podcast. We talked about sand topdressing, clipping volume, cutting unit set-up, equipment operation, and a lot more, all focused on how to produce the best possible surfaces.

The ATC Doublecut podcast now has more than 150 episodes for your viewing or listening pleasure. Which ones have been listened to the most? My favorite episode to record was this one about locations in the world with 365 days in the year with a high GP for cool-season grass.

I prepared a new video about OM246. This video premiered at the Ontario Turfgrass Symposium last week, and it’s now available for worldwide viewing. I wasn’t able to get to Ontario for this event, but I was glad to have the opportunity to explain why OM246 testing is done, how it works, and what one can do with the results.

Joe Gulotti has invited me onto his The Talking Greenkeeper show for a year-end episode for a few years now. This year he called it “The Micah Woods Annual Holiday Special.

There are a lot of reasons to apply just the right amount of sand topdressing. Too much is no good, and too little is a problem too. The starting point with figuring out the right amount of sand to apply to your turfgrass is to know exactly how much you’ve been applying.

Here are three items that cover the topic of surface hardness, or the firmness of turfgrass surfaces, from all kinds of angles. Richard Forsyth is the director of courses at Royal Melbourne Golf Club.

Soil testing is amazing. Many critical parameters can be measured on a small sample. The test results can then be used to improve turfgrass performance, adjust soil pH, apply necessary fertilizers, and much, much more.

I’ve been adding new videos to the ATC YouTube channel and as I’ve done that a lot of the videos fit nicely into playlists. If you haven’t checked these out yet, I recommend doing so.
