The ATC Doublecut with Micah Woods

I discuss ATC blog posts, with supplementary information, stories, and the reasons why I thought the topic was worth writing about, and worth reading about. Thus, a doublecut of these topics. This covers grass selection, playability, and all the work done to create a certain type of turfgrass surface.

ATC Office Hours

I discuss technical turfgrass topics with turfgrass managers, scientists, greenkeepers, and whoever drops by the ATC office hours. There's a lot of talk about the work done to create playing surfaces for golf, and also about growing grass for sporting surfaces of all sort, and also some talk of lawns.

Turf Without Borders

When I visit golf courses, I ask a standard series of questions about grass types, mowing heights, maintenance work, and site-specific maintenance challenges. In this show, I speak with turfgrass managers around the world, asking them the same questions about the work at their location.
