turfRad

How do you manage moisture at a championship venue like Sentosa GC? Superintendent Rodney McKeown explains how turfRad supports daily decisions, from irrigation to hand watering. The result is a 20–25% reduction in water use while maintaining championship conditions. @livgolf_league #turfRad #LIVGolf

Last week at Sentosa Golf Club during @livgolf_league - Alongside the tournament, Sentosa hosted an education event focused on real conditions, data, and decision-making at the highest level, with #turfRad proud to be part of it. In a tropical climate, consistency takes precision. More to come. #LIVGolf #GolfCourseManagement #TurfManagement #PrecisionTurf

“It’s a must-have technology. Superintendents will quickly see the value and wish they had implemented it sooner." hubs.li/Q04389q-0

Real Club Sevilla Golf is using turfRad to measure soil moisture across their fairways and support more informed irrigation decisions. “Having stable and verified moisture data has helped us make better irrigation decisions.” - Pablo Arreciado, Head Greenkeeper Read the full article here: hubs.li/Q046vR5y0 @golfindustria

"turfRad impressed me right from the start. It turned insight into action immediately and took the guesswork out of managing moisture.” #turfRad

Guys, I’ve fallen deep into the Turf Management corner of 𝕏. This sprinkler system is incredible. 😄

Water management is becoming one of the biggest challenges facing golf courses worldwide. Most fairway irrigation is still based on educated guessing (eyes + occasional handheld readings). turfRad changes that with root-zone moisture maps, helping teams avoid wilting on hot days and eliminate overwatering. This means better conditions, less water, lower pumping & electricity costs, and so on. 🎥 Clip credit: @TurfBusiness Full interview: hubs.li/Q045w50F0

Last week, we joined a turfRad training event at the stunning Golf de Seignosse, hosted by Hako France. Greenkeepers came together to explore moisture data, mapping insights, and practical turf management workflows on-site. Thank you to Hako France and Golf de Seignosse for hosting. #turfRad #Greenkeeping #PrecisionTurf

Spatial Adjust™ smart sensor technology turns routine mowing into smart irrigation. With @TerraRadTech sensors capturing thousands of soil moisture readings, shift from reactive irrigation to proactive moisture management. Integrated with Lynx® Central Control. @TheToroCompany

How many turfRad sensors does an 18-hole course actually need? In most cases: 2–3. Mounted on fairway mowers already working 2–3x per week, so moisture data becomes part of the mowing workflow. No extra labor. We break down the common mounting options here: hubs.li/Q044Mws50 🎥 Clip credit: @TurfBusiness Full interview: hubs.li/Q044MvMr0 #turfRad #GolfCourseManagement #SoilMoisture #TurfBusinessTV

Great turfRad training session last week in Sevilla together with our distributors Riversa and Irrimac at Real Club Sevilla Golf. #turfRad #PrecisionIrrigation

Can turfRad be used on greens? Yes, and it’s an area we’re actively continuing to develop. More teams are starting to use turfRad on greens to understand moisture patterns before deciding where closer inspection is needed. It’s a practical way to add context, especially during stress periods or tournament prep. 🔗 hubs.li/Q04465Dy0

Changing moisture thresholds doesn’t alter the measurements - it just changes what stands out. Tighten the range to pick up subtle dry-down or wet pockets. Widen it when you want to step back and look at broader trends. It’s a simple way to ask different questions of the same map, depending on what you’re trying to understand that day.

turfRad is not a satellite - it’s a passive radiometer mounted on turf equipment that measures natural microwave energy from the soil, without touching the turf. The sensing principle is similar to what’s used in certain Earth observation satellites, but we’ve adapted it for high-resolution, course-level root-zone moisture mapping to support smarter irrigation decisions.

After a rain event, the question isn’t “how much should we water?” It’s often: do we need to water at all? “A week later it’s still saying no, you do not need water.” — Tyler Truman, Sun City Palm Desert More takeaways on turfRad + Spatial Adjust: hubs.li/Q042PLfC0 #GCSAA #turfRad #SpatialAdjust #SmartIrrigation

Spatial Adjust with @ToroGolf and turfRad sensors with @TerraRadTech have changed the way to irrigate your property. They are leading the way with uniform moisture across your course. Toro Spatial Adjust: Real Results at Ravenna Country Club youtu.be/G1_OSQHlCd0?si… via @YouTube

The "Sprinkler View" feature in the turfRad Portal turns root-zone moisture data into sprinkler-level action. Every head is color-coded by your thresholds, so you can instantly see what’s wet, dry, or on target, and jump straight to the heads that need attention.

“The first time I ran it, I had a 20% reduction. I was shocked.” - Calvin Wilson, Austin Country Club Shorter water windows. Fewer runtime hours. Better uniformity. Here's what superintendents shared at @GCSAA about turfRad + Spatial Adjust: hubs.li/Q042GKff0
