Access research that can support and enhance your recommendations.
Over the last century, our groundbreaking research has paved the way for countless course solutions, including USGA-spec greens. Our vast and comprehensive resources, authored by superintendents and agronomists, provide the support and guidance you need for future projects.
I highly recommend the GS3 Ball and DEACON platform. I think it’s the future: to collect quantitative data on how your greens are performing, make proper agronomic decisions, and to be able to share that information with your membership and course stakeholders. It’s something we all need to move towards.
