Our USGA Green Section moisture meter arrived today. We continue to get better as we add different data points to our agronomy thought process. The salinity component is big for someone who deals with poor water quality as the rains begin to dry up.

Great to receive the USGA Green Section deacon Moisture Meter and try it out on the course today. Looking at the weather it’s just in time to help us in the lead up to The Open Final Qualifying. Got to say it’s so simple to use!
