Michigan Golf Journal April 2021

41 April 2021 www.michigangolfjournal.com on six golf courses in Michigan this last winter. The sensors monitored soil temperature, gases, and moisture throughout the winter. Our goal is to identify specific temperature, gas, or moisture levels that result in winterkill in real time so that golf course superintendents could attempt actions to mitigate injury if possible. This was the first year of our research, so we are still in the learning and development phase.
