The GvX, #OM246, and #MLSN with John Petrovsky

John Petrovsky is manager of USGA Green Section Education. He is also the host of the USGA Green Section podcast.

What is The Doublecut with Micah Woods?

I discuss turfgrass management topics, usually starting with a blog post, sharing 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.
