I’ve made some movies with my friends to explain how the grammar of greenkeeping works. You may enjoy watching.

I’ve been doing some teaching, or demonstrating, how I use R software for data analysis in turf-related matters. See the full list of rturf posts. The initial project is about stimpmeter measurements and ClipVol.

There are a lot of reasons to apply just the right amount of sand topdressing. Too much is no good, and too little is a problem too. The starting point with figuring out the right amount of sand to apply to your turfgrass is to know exactly how much you’ve been applying.

Here are three items that cover the topic of surface hardness, or the firmness of turfgrass surfaces, from all kinds of angles. Richard Forsyth is the director of courses at Royal Melbourne Golf Club.

Soil testing is amazing. Many critical parameters can be measured on a small sample. The test results can then be used to improve turfgrass performance, adjust soil pH, apply necessary fertilizers, and much, much more.

I’ve been adding new videos to the ATC YouTube channel and as I’ve done that a lot of the videos fit nicely into playlists. If you haven’t checked these out yet, I recommend doing so.

There was a time when I habitually made seminar handouts as web pages.1 Then I stopped doing that. From about 2015 I was posting seminar slides on my SpeakerDeck account. But I haven’t been doing that for a couple years, and I now generally make a video screencast of a presentation if I really want to share it.

Some videos on the ATC YouTube channel have chapters—timestamps—that I have added for different topics. I haven’t done that for all the videos, but it is really cool that YouTube has identified some of the topics and added the timestamps automatically.

In autumn of 2021 I started The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods, a show where I talk about turfgrass topics that I’ve found interesting enough to write about. ATC Doublecut podcast website ATC Doublecut video playlist It’s been 9 months and 50 episodes now.

I gave two presentations, about two of my favorite topics, at the Golf Matters NZ Conference in Christchurch. Links to the recorded screencasts are below, if you’d like to get the entire presentation in rapid form.
