Micah Woods established the Asian Turfgrass Center (ATC) in 2006 to develop and provide turfgrass information for the golf and sports turf industry. Through the ATC, he provides turfgrass advisory and soil testing services to golf clubs, sports facilities, and select clients around the world. Since 2009, he has been an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Tennessee. Since 2022, he has been director of the PACE Turf information service.We approached this episode from a "Turf for Dummies" perspective - uncovering questions that many of us "step over" while playing the courses we enjoy so much. If you're here, you can acknowledge and enjoy one playing surface better than another. So, what goes into that? For those of you who run businesses or are involved in your club's greens committee, you know all too well that expenses pile up quickly, and often times we do things because "we've always done them". Micah's studies and measurements are designed specifically to REDUCE inputs, and measuring only for making the playing surface as good as it can be for GOLFERS. Thanks for the support as always!Cheers,- The Tie GuysLearn more about Micah: Website: https://www.asianturfgrass.com/#aboutTwitter:https://twitter.com/asianturfgrass?lang=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnm7lFvxZ85tt9ClUYRtfnwTie Links: Website:https://www.thetiepodcast.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/thetiepodcast/?hl=enTwitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/thetiepodcastGoodWalk Coffee:https://goodwalkcoffee.comCODE: thetie for 20% offBDraddy:bdraddy.comCODE: thetie25 for 25% off
