This is a great listen - take the time!
“ Are we losing the art of green keeping to data?” It’s a fair question, and one we’re hearing more often. But maybe it’s not one or the other. The best superintendents have always relied on feel. Experience. Intuition. That doesn’t go away with metrics, it gets stronger. The numbers don’t replace the art, they define it. Because at the end of the day, data should support the decision, not make it. Biological Soil Management is built on that same idea. Understand the system. Measure what matters. And use that information to make better, more confident decisions!

How was that a holding penalty? He barely laid a hand on him at all!

Sulfides forms hydrogen sulfide under anaerobic conditions, leading to black layer root death. Our systems will remove the sulfides and increase the dissolved oxygen in your water and soil to quickly eliminate the problem. NanoOxygen Systems has solutions to your water issues.
The dog days of summer are here, irrigation ponds are running low, lack of oxygen in the water compounds your turf problems due to high heat and the increased need to add water on the course, but you know that your irrigation water needs its own solution. nanooxygensystems.com

The last time the Tour Championship played preferred lies for 4 rounds was 2002. The next year over 85,000 LF of Turf Drain was installed by TDA. Wondering if they will consider doing this again to get the full effect of @GreenGCA’s fairway contours? Needs to be firm & fast!

The vast majority of golf courses use water with less than 4 ppm of dissolved oxygen, to the detriment of root and plant health. Now there is a way to fix that issue. Reach out to NanoOxygen Systems to see how.

Soil needs at least 5ppm dissolved O2 to effectively support life. Our water quality improvement systems consistently provide water with over 16 ppm DO directly into your irrigation water, increasing soil DO. The positive effect on plant roots &overall plant health is exceptional

Using poor quality water for irrigation creates agronomic issues that golf courses are forced to react to. A NOS water quality improvement system using nothing but oxygen, ozone and UFB’s will make your irrigation water better than rainwater and simplify your agronomic programs

Treating your largest input (water) will allow you to reduce inputs you currently make to overcome your poor water quality. Until now you had no way to improve the quality of your irrigation water, but an engineered ultrafine bubble system from NanoOxygen System will change that.

UFB oxygen improves soil texture and the negatively charged UFB’s improves water infiltration. The combination allows for deeper penetration of water and less runoff. Our customers have seen an average of 20-30% reduction of irrigation. Contact us for more information.
