This episode discusses two posts.

One is about Zoysia seedheads and the interesting and troublesome phenomenon of seedhead production for more than half the year: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/a-hypothesis-about-fecundity-of-zoysia/

The second post is about pitch marks on greens and about the one sure way I know of to reduce their size and severity---firmer green surfaces: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/pitch-marks-that-last-for-days/

The post we discussed is https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/of-trees-turf-and-tournament-golf/, which considers which grasses work well in conditions of cloudy weather combined with tree shade. In particular, we discuss manilagrass (Zoysia matrella) and tropical carpetgrass (Axonopus compressus).

I also mentioned Tyler Carr's zoysia grow-in experiments at the University of Tennessee, which can be seen in this video: https://youtu.be/oNw9fPqm6YY

The post discussed in this episode is https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/surface-hardness-correlations/. I planned to discuss this one also but decided to hold that discussion for another episode: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/density-plots-clegg-putting-greens/. I was joined by Andrew McDaniel (https://twitter.com/drumcturf) for this discussion.

I also mentioned the chart from Steve Isaac showing the target firmness levels for links course championship events. You can see that chart in this post: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/three-things-to-do-with-om246-data-right-now/
