"Greenkeeping, at its core, is about controlling the growth rate of the grass. To get the desired green speed, or the maximum disease resistance, or the fastest divot recovery without too much thatch production, one must adjust the growth rate of the grass. An easy technique to monitor the growth rate is to measure the clipping yield from golf course putting greens."
That's what I wrote at the start of my turfgrass talk column in the July/August issue of GCM China. And I went on to explain just how easy this is, and more about why having a measurement of yield can be so useful.
