Righto, it's time for a deep dive for the turf nerds out there, or anyone who is interested in learning more about specific turf on a golf course.
If you've ever wondered just how much thinking goes into preparing a golf course and it's turf surfaces, then this is very much the episode for you!
I venture out to Duntryleague GC in Orange NSW to catch up with Superintendent Craig Geeve who generously gives us a deep insight into his maintenance practices of the unique turf surfaces of Duntryleague GC, including Poa annua putting greens and South African couch (Cyndodon tranvaalensis) fairways. There's lots of details in this one and lots of general conversation, discussion, questions, and personal insights from both of us.
If you really want to go full turf nerd, join Craig and I out on course as this episode might just hit all the right notes and maybe even have you asking more questions afterwards. And that's how we like it.
You hit 'em clean and we'll keep 'em green!
