The importance of Surface Management

Everybody knows how important putting greens are. Facilities spend a lot of money to keep them in consistently good condition. Golfers want greens that roll true and have consistent speeds. Surface Management allows you to track key performance indicators to improve your ability to manage your greens and deliver consistent putting surfaces that satisfy your golfers.

How Surface Management works

All it takes is a few minutes each day to record the inputs and cultural practices for a green, as well as the clipping yield and Stimpmeter reading after the morning maintenance.

Deacon consolidates all the data in a single location, making it easy to visualize and analyze the information, whether from day to day, month to month, or year over year.

Identify trends

All the data you accumulate through the daily measurement and recording can yield some significant insights. You can analyze the impact of variables such as weather, rainfall, and mowing regimen on the growth and performance of your greens. Whether you're looking for year-round consistency or trying to peak for a special event or tournament, the Surface Management tool can guide you along the way.

Sensor integration

We have the ability to ingest data from various on-course sensors that you use so you can expand your monitoring ability. So whether you want to track moisture, temperature, or anything else you measure on a regular basis, we can work with you to provide customized insights into how they impact the performance and playing quality of your putting surfaces.
