The Rodney Lingle system

I really enjoyed listening to Rodney Lingle on the USGA Green Section Podcast. This is a podcast I recommend you all put in your listening queue. Host John Petrovsky leads the conversation in all the directions you’d want it to go. And Rodney shares all kinds of wisdom and stories and hard facts about turf maintenance.

I’ve recommended many times the classic verticutting videos from Rodney’s YouTube channel. Watch them here: vertical mowing bermuda greens 1, 2, and 3.

Did anyone else notice Rodney’s use of the word system to describe the work, rather than the word program? I much prefer system as a way to describe turfgrass management and surface preparation. For more about that, see the middle and end of this post in which I describe a flexible fertilizer system.
