STRESS MAPS

After every drone flight, your course receives an updated Turf Score that analyzes every square inch of turf, classifying it into four distinct stress groups. These groups are represented by specific colors on stress maps, offering an intuitive visual aid for identifying areas that require attention. The color-coded system simplifies the process of pinpointing potential issues, often revealing turf stress before it becomes visible to the naked eye.

The stress maps cover all areas, from greens to fairways, tee boxes, and rough, allowing superintendents to focus on targeted interventions.

It’s important to note that there is no “perfect” Turf Score. Instead, the system provides actionable insights by breaking down turf health into stress groups, empowering course managers to take the right action at the right time. This approach ensures that decisions regarding watering, mowing, or other maintenance practices are based on real-time data, improving turf health and optimizing playing conditions.

Regular updates from each drone flight offer ongoing insights that allow for dynamic adjustments as conditions change, ensuring long-term turf vitality. The Turf Score system facilitates not only immediate responses to turf stress but also long-term strategic planning, helping superintendents track trends and proactively manage the course to prevent future problems and sustain the quality of the playing surfaces year-round.
