CGSA Seminar - GADGETS and GIZMOS - How to Best Use Measurement Tech
Presented by:
Daniel O'Brien - Research Technician - University of Arkansas
This seminar examines different technologies available to superintendents for managing both plant health and playability. Measurement devices capable of monitoring and communicating environmental conditions, diagnosing turgrass problems, and evaluating playing surface quality are discussed. Specific devices include those used to quantify: soil moisture, light (photosynthetic), surface firmness, surface temperature, ball roll distance and trueness. Unmanned aerial vehicles (aka drones), various smartphone apps, and other practical resources are also covered. The goal of this seminar is to help superintendents better understand and employ tools that can improve both the quantity and quality of information available to them on a daily basis.
