Put simply, turfRad allows golf courses to fully leverage their existing irrigation systems. By adapting a proven technology to efficiently measure and map the moisture content of soil, it allows courses to adjust individual sprinkler heads to respond to a variety of conditions, some of which could ultimately be detrimental to the condition of the course. TurfRad’s capabilities are such that they are appreciated by a number of different groups.

For Superintendents: For starters, turfRad is user-friendly and the sensors are easily mounted onto vehicles. The moisture maps produced are easy to understand and call attention to which sprinkler heads need to be adjusted. In addition to reducing wet spots and dry spots, when combined with any modern irrigation system, enables a great deal of savings in water, energy, chemicals, and labor.

For Players: By strategically reducing sprinkler runtimes for firm conditions, players can experience greater roll on their drives and more response on their approach shots. Players also appreciate the elimination of wet spots on the course and the overall improvement in the course aesthetics. With turfRad you can have it all: green turf and firm conditions.

For the Public: The huge demand for water and the reliance on various chemicals for turf maintenance has hardly endeared golf courses to naturalists. Fortunately, the industry is acknowledging the need to become environmentally responsible and turfRad is a significant component of that responsibility to sustainability.
