Moisture Probe

For the past few years our Golf Operations Department has been using a device called a Moisture Probe to help regulate the percentage of moisture in our greens.  Our staff will walk the greens and get a percentage reading that allows us to regulate areas that need or don't need water based on the readings.  This has helped us immensely in getting a consistency in the mositure of our greens.  Our percentages that we target change throughout the year based on weather and agronomic practices.  With the summer Texas heat we have staff members assigned to check greens on a daily basis in the morning and afternoon on both golf courses.
