Achieving the desired turf surfaces by thinking backwards (or why reactivity can beat proactivity)

I discuss the idea that being reactive to current turf conditions---working backwards from the conditions to the work that should be done---offers substantial advantages over a proactive and scheduled approach to turf management.

Show Notes

I discussed an approach to turfgrass management that involves considering the current turfgrass conditions and then deciding what to do.

What is The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods?

I discuss ATC blog posts, with supplementary information, stories, and the reasons why I thought the topic was worth writing about, and worth reading about. Thus, a doublecut of these topics. This covers grass selection, playability, and all the work done to create a certain type of turfgrass surface.
