I completed soil sampling on both golf courses before the snow settled in.  I took samples from all 36 holes and divided them into sections.  Front 9 - Back 9 Greens, Front 9 - Back 9 Fairways and then Tees on both courses.  This gave me 10 sample bags that I sent to a lab to be analyzed.  

These comprehensive results will be my new baselines for comparision.

I will be able to compare the results to previous tests completed on our soil and see how things have changed plus I will also have the ability to test potential problem areas on a micro level by sampling and comparing.  This is just another way to better manage the growth of our turfgrass.
