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.

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.

I put together a couple videos that discuss total organic material testing. First, this one, which shows some samples I’ve collected. From my office, to the post office, I discuss what is going to happen with them at the laboratory.

Two shows make their debut today. One is The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods, in which I discuss topics from the blog. Giving those topics a doublecut, so to speak, by first writing about them and then discussing some of the background and related information for that topic.

Everyone understands the segmentation of OM246 samples by depth. That is in the name of the test, after all. Most people understand that OM246 testing is a mass loss on ignition of all the material.

In the last ATC update newsletter I included a survey about future video topics. These are the results. Thanks to everyone for the feedback! A topic that has been on my mind and that I want to explain further is N fertilizer and ClipVol.

A recent PACE Turf update mentioned this research project by Jackie Guevara and Kevin Frank: Effects of different soil testing interpretation philosophies on creeping bentgrass and annual bluegrass putting greens.
