| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the use of a wireless soil sensor system at LedgeRock Golf Club in Reading, Pennsylvania and the benefits that it provided the club. States that issues with the proximity of trees to the greens led to issues of inadequate air circulation and retention of too much water, making golfing "physically uncomfortable for golfers." Adds that after a successful demonstration and installation of The Turf Guard system and a large portable fan placed alongside the green, the sensors measured and sent data about moisture levels beneath the turf. Details that the sensors "offered a convenient way to accurately monitor soil moisture levels, and that enabled LedgeRock staff to make informed decisions about air flow and irrigation as needed." Notes that the system also assisted in protecting the greens against threats ranging from fungus to excess salinity. |
