When I visit golf courses, I ask a standard series of questions about grass types, mowing heights, maintenance work, and site-specific maintenance challenges. In this show, I speak with turfgrass managers around the world, asking them the same questions about the work at their location.
Hello, and welcome to Turf Without Borders, the podcast where we look at what happens behind the scenes as we explore the world of golf course management. I'm Micah Woods, and I've spent years studying, consulting, and working alongside golf course superintendents and greenkeepers around the world. And now, with this podcast, I'm bringing these conversations directly to you.
Each episode of Turf Without Borders is like a virtual visit to a unique course somewhere on the globe. I'll be speaking with the people responsible for these playing surfaces—course superintendents, head greenkeepers, and turf managers of all types—asking the same set of questions I’d ask if I were there in person. Together, we’ll discuss the types of grass they manage, the methods they use, the unique challenges they face, and the strategies they apply to keep their courses in top shape.
This series will uncover the universal challenges and local nuances that make turf management so very fascinating—from the tropics to tundra, deserts, links, maybe even a hill station or two. If you're a turf professional, a golf enthusiast, or just curious about the sheer variety of grasses and maintenance techniques used around the world, this podcast is for you.
