Downward trend in OM2 and varying sand and N rates by green with T-Jay Creamer
About this episode
T-Jay Creamer discusses the decrease in OM2 and the impact of N and sand rates on golf greens.
T-Jay Creamer is the golf course superintendent at Olympic View Golf Club on Vancouver Island. He's seen a steady decrease in OM2 in response to his N and sand rates, along with substantially more consistent OM2 values green to green. We discussed the results and what he does to accomplish this.
