The Year In Review - Travels of John Mascaro
Page 14
February - April 2003

The below photo's are a photo journal for my website visitors to enjoy.  I have been fortunate to have been able to travel from time to time and with each trip, I photograph turfgrass conditions that I encounter.  I will continue this forum and add to the photo's (and of course soil profile samples) as I continue to travel from place to place.

This is the Turf-Tec Moisture Sensor being used at Crandon Park Golf Club, Key Biscayne, FL. The PGA Tour recommends use of two Turf-Tec Moisture Sensors in their course conditioning guidelines to insure moisture consistency from one green to the next.
