When you know the rate at which organic material is accumulating in the rootzone, you can adjust sand topdressing rates with more precision. You can also start to check how any changes in maintenance can have an effect on the accumulation rate.
The blog post discussed is this one: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/inexorable-rise-soil-organic-matter/
The Shiny app to calculate the accumulation rate is: https://asianturfgrass.shinyapps.io/om246/

T-Jay Creamer is the golf course superintendent at Olympic View Golf Club in western Canada. He joined me to discuss tournament golf maintenance and the grammar of greenkeeping.
We discussed this ATC blog post: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/two-weeks-in-august/

A month ago Joe Gulotti and I walked the fairways and greens of the Montchanin Course at Dupont Country Club. I wrote a blog post about that, and we discussed my visit in this episode.

You can sometimes, perhaps more often than you would think, find soil under good turf to have lower nutrient content than does soil under poor quality turf. In this episode, I explain why that is, what the implications of this phenomenon are, and what you can do about it.
Independent turfgrass researcher John Dempsey, Ph.D., joined me to discuss evaluating treatment effects and the importance of having a good control. We talked about diseases, nutrition, and this blog post:

Dr. Henry Qu, partner and data scientist at Oxbridge Economics, joined me to talk about data analysis, and statistics, and how to try to learn things in turfgrass science. We discussed NTEP, posterior distributions, disease resistance, ANOVA, total organic material expectations by species, the process of learning, and much more.
Jon Wall, golf course superintendent at Shanqin Bay, joined me to discuss doing more work to make grass better, rather than doing less. And also about what I'd want everyone to do, which is doing the right amount of work for your property.
We talked about many things, starting off with:
It's summer in the northern hemisphere, and the two items discussed in this episode provide guidance on managing turf when it has to survive through heat stress.

Carl Schimenti from Cornell University joined me to discuss intro to #MLSN explanations vs. using MLSN the way it is designed to be used. We also talked a lot about ball roll assessment using the #BobbleTest, and the USGA GS3 ball, and other methods.
Soil P, pH, and salinity are a few things that likely vary by depth in your rootzone. I've started recommending that 20% of putting greens tested be done with a sample divided at the 5 cm depth. Send the lab a 0-5 cm and 5-10 cm depth sample from that green, rather than the standard 0-10 cm depth sample.
