Yay or Nay on Early Season Play?

Season 6 · Episode 1

Friday, March 28, 2025 • Duration 30:51

This season kicks off with a macro discussion about the experience of people who use turfgrass, and how it’s about more the quality of the grass. Those same people are itching to get out and play on golf courses and athletic fields, but without much active growth, should we let them? The turf guys debate allowing early season play considering the potential revenue, demand, and maintenance costs. They also discuss the role of synthetic turf in these shoulder seasons, highlighting their particular importance in urban areas where field demand is high.

Check out our turf Growth Potential Tool and Runoff Risk forecast to guide Spring maintenance.
