The Michigan GCSA’s Spring issue of “Course Conditions” is now out, and it includes a 5 page feature article that I called Measuring clipping volume is easier and more useful than I expected.
In the article, I explained “how clipping volume works and what it is all about.” The article includes explanations of:
- how and when I became interested in this topic
- the units of measure
- machine consistency and green to green consistency
- clipping volume and playability
- clipping volume and turfgrass performance
- nutrient use and optimum nutrient supply
- resource use and a return to playability
