What is Precision Turfgrass Management?
Permalink | Precision Turf Management The goal of Precision Turfgrass Management (PTM) is to carefully observe, document, map, and manage golf courses on the smallest reasonable scale to provide optimum performance for the entire golf course environment with the minimum human, natural, mechanical and chemical resources. In addition to improving management for different locations throughout the course (spatial), precision management will help improve management through time (temporal). PACE will continue to update information relating to the adoption of PTM by providing background information, information on equipment and techniques and examples of PTM applications on golf courses. Steps in adoption of Precision Turfgrass Management: • Characterize and document the site – soils, plants, areas, irrigation system (greens, tees, fairways, roughs, landscapes, out of play low maintenance areas, cart paths, lakes, etc.) • Design maps and “as-built” drawings including irrigation heads, valve b
