Understanding measured variables and making the best decisions

This seminar will focus on the key variables that drive decisions for turfgrass conditioning and what they mean for water, fertiliser, pest management and cultural practices that are designed to improve the experience of golfers while maintaining an environmentally sustainable property. Recent research and publications will be explained to help attendees understand the science and art behind monitoring and using measured information most effectively for their success.

Learning outcomes:

• Key influencing factors from the turf and soil
• Key influencing factors from micro and macro course climates
• Key physiological processes in turf and how variables influence them
• How physiological processes impact the experience of the golfer
• How to monitor turfgrass most effectively and use appropriate information
• How to visually associate measured analysis with key challenges in performance
